plastic barrel as radiator
I need a affordable way to make uses of the hot water, I'm able to make and store now. I need a way to release the heat of the hot water into two rooms forming a L shape. One idea I'm considering is 6, 30 gallon, 114 L plastic barrels. One placed in each corner. All placed in a loop with the storage tank. Water pumped from storage tank goes to first barrel that flows to the next barrel and so on till the last barrel drains back to the storage tank.
I'm hoping to keep the working temp of the water at about 130 - 140F , 54- 60C in the storage tank but i guess warmer than room temp will work.. Low enough the barrels won't melt.
During warm weather the barrels could be drained and stored.
What you think?
