Homemade Solar Water Heater / Aquecedor Solar de Água Caseira

(Tradução em baixo)

This is a video that goes along with my post about my DIY thermosyphon solar hot water heater. On sunny days it heats water up to 135-140 degrees. Because of it I am able to rely much less on electricity. Instead of expensive copper pipe I have used PVC. It is unique in its use of florescent light bulbs as a second glazing to help improve efficiency

Aquecedor de Água Solar Caseira:
Minha sistema de aquecimento solar é parecido com o aquecedor solar com garrafa PET. (Para saber mais: http://www.myfixlog.com/fix.php?fid=1) Meu é mais eficiente, e também é mais caro. Em dias que faz sol (e a temperatura ambiental é mais ou menos 30-32) aqueça a água até 55 graus. Nos dias que não faz sol (e a temperatura ambiental é mais ou menos 21-23) aqueça ate 32 graus.
Desde que eu instalei o aquecedor eu tenho ligado o chuveiro totalmente sol uma vez. Custou menos que 600 reais.

Hey When you Drain the water for the Winter you could Hook it up to a Solar fan and a vent. Then you Have a Solar Air Heater at the Same time!!

140 degrees is the max limit your pvc can handle so sometime soon it will basically melt on you

@jaketeater Copper is expensive here too. I mean really expensive here in the STATES I salvage and sell all that I can, Its good money so PVC was a good sensible way to go.........

Great job. Thanks for sharing..
