As soon as the summer season comes, manyurban residents tend to move closer to nature - to the country. Silence, fresh air, vegetables grown with their own hands and plucked straight from the garden ... The inevitable price for all these pleasures is the absence of the usual comfort. If earlier it was believed that hot water in the country is an element of luxury, but now this is no surprise. So, how to save yourself from the inconvenience and what are the heaters for water to give?
The simplest ways to create comfort
The easiest way to organize hot water in the country is to build a summer shower. In central Russia for every 1 m2 за один час попадает порядка 750-1000 Вт solar energy, and therefore the main task is to use it correctly. It should be noted that the usual black coloring of the container is not an effective tool, because according to the laws of physics, after the process of energy absorption, it is emitted. Therefore, it is best to place the barrel in a kind of box, and the side facing the sun should be transparent (made of glass or plastic film). The shadow side needs to be covered with a heat insulator (foamed polyurethane foam, glass wool, etc.).
The simplest water heaters for gardening canbe made in the form of a solar collector. To do this, two nozzles are mounted to the tank (one as high as possible and the other as low as possible). A manifold is attached to the nozzles (the simplest is a black hose twisted into a spiral). Due to the natural circulation, heating will occur much faster. Accordingly, the larger the collector size, the greater the heat transfer.
You can also build water heaters forcottages that use the energy released during the decomposition of small debris, grass, straw, sawdust, etc. These are the so-called catalytic heaters. In addition, this unit produces the most valuable organic fertilizer - compost.
Another way - the heater on the wood. It is carried out in the form of an ordinary Russian samovar. Just a couple of logs are enough for his work - and you can take a hot shower or wash the dishes.
Electric water heaters
Electric water heaters for gardeningdivided into two types - flow-through and cumulative. The advantage of flow heaters is their compactness, however, high power remains a serious obstacle to their use in country conditions, since it requires separate wiring and an additional automaton on the meter. Heaters operating in cumulative type are more acceptable for questioning. Relatively low power does not give such a strong load on the electrical network, and a tank with a volume of 50-100 liters is enough to make your stay in the country house quite comfortable. The disadvantage of this device is that it needs a constant water pressure, which is not always the case.
В таком случае можно использовать наливной water heater - a kind of washstand from the children's fairy tale about Moidodyr, equipped with heating elements. The presence of a thermostat allows you to maintain a given temperature. The disadvantage of the bulk water heater is the small capacity of the tank. Of course, you will not be able to take a shower, but please wash or wash the dishes.
As a conclusion
When choosing the type of water heater it is important whichthe energy source will be used and from where water comes to the cottage. Heaters, whose price is within reasonable limits, have long been an indispensable attribute of a modern summer resident, and not an exotic wonder.
