    Re: SHCS...How It's Done..!

    I'm still trying to recover from the site being hacked....in case you haven't noticed, now all the avatars have disappeared. So, even thouth I install a new updated script, some reminants of info still exists in the database and now I'm looking for a worm file that they may have put in to do dirty deeds over a period of time.

    Anyway, I looked at the PDFs and most had a big copyright stamp right across the pages so I can't put those up on here and one of them, even though it appeared to be a PDF, its pages were actually images (the print was on the images) so I can't use it.

    The only one that was a true PDF still needs to be investigated for copyrights before I go any further with it but I will get to it.

    Re: SHCS...How It's Done..!

    I installed my version of one of these when building my greenhouse.

    It got a good test last night when the temps outside went down to 22F.

    By 7am the next morning, the inside GH temp was 38F and the air coming out of the SHCS fan was measuring 43F.

    I didn't use an air heater that night but did have a 1500 watt water heater on in the main 250 gallon fish tank from 9pm until 3am. The water temp in the fish tank was 66F when I checked it in the morning. The water circulates thru five 50 gallon grow beds full of expanded clay which makes a rather large heat sink.

    My design is different than Mr Hobbit's in that I could only dig down 16 inches doing only only one level and only had enough room for (4) 4" perforated ADS lines that run from one end of the dome to the the other. Each line is about 20 feet long and all join in a plenum at one end.

    I could post a few pics if anyone is interested.
