Hi all
After reading tons of why not, I have the following request. I am attempting to use a woodfire solution to heat a school pool for no other reason but cost of electrical heaters and electricity being just above school budget.
The rectangular pool size is:
Length : 25m or 82 feet
Width: 10m or 33 feet
Volume: 345000 liters or 91 140 gallons
We have an old woodfire stove from days gone by. I have no idea as to the BTU'S. As a start, we have pool blankets covering whole pool.
Preliminary results at flow rate of 1200 liters per hour or 317 gallons per hour
Current pool temperature: 18°C or 64.4°F
Water Temp after heating out of 1" HDPE CLASS 6 pipe: (Evening) 32°C or 89.6°F
Water Temp after heating out of 1" HDPE CLASS 6 pipe: (Daytime) 45°C or 113°F
Preliminary results at flow rate of 2400 liters per hour or 634 gallons per hour
Current pool temperature: 18°C or 64.4°F
Water Temp after heating out of 1" HDPE CLASS 6 pipe: (Evening) 24°C or 75.2°F
Water Temp after heating out of 1" HDPE CLASS 6 pipe: (Daytime) 30°C or 86°F
My question is how can I improve the time it will take to heat the pool to 28°C or 82°F maximum.
Should I increase the flow to 1902 gallons per hour ( I realise there will be a temperature drop)
Any assistance will be appreciated.
