In modern conditions, the purchase of their own device for the production and supply of heat costs buyers a fairly large amount. To save money or in the absence of the opportunity to purchase a heat source in a store, there are reasonable grounds to construct a heat generator with your own hands. There are several types of such projects. The choice depends on the technical capabilities of the owner or the tasks that need to be solved with the help of a heat generating system.
Benefits of homemade heating
In general, there are two types of devices: static and rotary. If in the first version there is a nozzle at the heart of the design, then other machines create cavitation using a rotor. These vortex structures can be compared with each other and choose the appropriate option for assembly.
Heat generator, designed with your own hands, will help provide comfortabletemperature control of a country house, cottage, separate cottage, apartment - in the absence of centralized heating, its defects, interruptions or accidents.
Also, such devices help to compensate for the cost of heat, to choose the best option for energy supply. They are simple in terms of design and economical, environmentally friendly.
How to make a heat generator with your own hands?
To assemble you will need the following materials and tools:
- a sufficient number of pipes corresponding to the room in length and width;
- puncher (drill) for drilling pipes;
- pump;
- cavitator of any kind;
- manometer;
- thermometer for measuring the level of heat and sleeves for it;
- taps for heating systems;- electric motor.
Additional accessories may be required for different system types. But in general, home-made heaters are quite accessible for design and customization by everyone.
Cavitation design
Do-it-yourself cavitation heat generator can be made on the basis of a centrifugal pump, which is often found in a bathroom, well, cottage water supply system. The low efficiency of such a pump can be converted into the energy of a cavitation heater. There will be a transition of mechanical energy into thermal energy. This principle is often used in industry.
A do-it-yourself cavitation heat generator is made on the basis of a pump that builds pressure above the nozzle. Flawcavitation device - high noise level, high power, inappropriate in small rooms, rare materials, dimensions - even a miniature model will take 1.5 square meters.
Heating with wood
A do-it-yourself wood-fired heat generator will provide stable space heating in the absence of centralized heating and the presence of a sufficient amount of wood fuel. No matter how technology and construction methods develop, a wood-burning stove will save you from power outages.
For wood-fired heating, a fireplace or a traditional stove is installed.
But such systems require careful adherence to safety standards. It is important to decide on the installation site of the stove - massive units cannot always be placed in country houses.
Making a do-it-yourself wood-fired heat generator is a good solution if you need autonomous room heating. Sometimes this is really the only possible heating option.
Potapov's device
Potapov's heat generator with your own hands can be made using the following materials:
- grinder for corners;
- welding machine;
- drill and drill bits;
- box wrenches for 12 and 13;
- different bolts, nuts, washers;
- metal corners;- paints and primers.
Potapov's own-made heat generator allows you to generate heat based on an electric motor using a pump. This is a very economical option, which can be madesimple enough from ordinary parts. The motor is selected depending on the existing voltage - 220 or 380 V.
The assembly begins with it, fixing it on the frame. A metal frame is made of square, welding and bolts, nuts help to secure the entire structure. Bolt holes are made, the engine is placed inside, the frame is covered with paint. Then a centrifugal pump is selected, which will be spun by the engine. The pump is mounted on a frame, however this will require a lathe coupler which can be ordered from the factory. It is important to insulate the generator with a special casing made of tin sheets or aluminum.
Frenette Generator
Frenette's heat generator is made by many lovers of technical experiments with their own hands - this unit is known for its incredibly high efficiency and a wide variety of models. However, many of these heat pumps are quite expensive.
Do-it-yourself Frenette heat generator can be made from the following components:
- rotor;
-stator;
-blade fan;
-shaft, etc.
The stator and rotor act as cylinders, one inside the other. Oil is poured into the large one, the small cylinder heats the entire system due to its revolutions. The fan provides hot air. This is a fairly simple heat pump model that can be improved. In the future, you can replace the inner cylinder with steel disks or remove the fan. The high level of efficiency is ensured by the circulation of the heat carrier(oils) in a closed system. There is no heat exchanger, but the heating power is quite high. This system saves costs that would normally have to be allocated to other types of heating.
Magnetic generator
Magnetic heating systems are of the vortex type and operate on the basis of an induction heater. In the process of functioning, an electromagnetic field is formed, whose energy the heated objects absorb and convert into heat. The basis of such a unit is an induction coil - a multi-turn cylindrical, when passing through which an electric current creates a magnetic field of an alternating state.
A do-it-yourself magnetic heat generator is made from elements: a nozzle and a pressure gauge at the outlet, a thermometer with sleeves, taps and induction elements. If you place a heated object near such a unit, the generated magnetic induction flux will penetrate the heated object. The lines of the electric field are perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic particles and go in a vicious circle.
During the divergence of the vortex flows of electricity, the energy is transformed into heat - the object is heated.
A do-it-yourself magnetic heat generator (with an inverter) allows you to use the power of magnetic fields to start the pump, quickly warm up the room and any substances to high temperatures. Such heaters can not only heat water to the desired temperature, but also melt metals.
Diesel generator
Diesel heat generator, ownhand-assembled, will help to effectively solve the problem of heating in an indirect way. The entire heating process in such units is fully automated, the diesel device can be used in spray booths and industrial needs. The main type of fuel in this case is diesel or kerosene. The device is a cannon, which is formed from a housing (casing), a fuel tank and an attached pump, as well as a cleaning filter and a combustion chamber. The fuel tank is placed at the bottom of the unit for easy supply of the resource.
A do-it-yourself diesel heat generator will help you efficiently and quickly heat a room in a fairly economical way.
Also, diesel fuel can serve as fuel. Diesel units have a nozzle that atomizes the fuel as it burns out, but in some versions it can be supplied by the drip method. When calculating for continuous operation, it is necessary to refuel the generator twice during the day.
Design test
A self-made heat generator will work as efficiently as possible if you conduct preliminary tests of the entire system and correct possible defects:
- all surfaces must be protected with paint;
- the body must be made of thick material due to very aggressive cavitation processes;
- the inlets must be of different sizes - this will allow you to adjust the performance;
- the vibration damper must be changed regularly. Better to have a special laboratory area where they willpass generator tests.
The best option - in which the water heats up more in the same length of time, this device can be preferred and further improved.
Owner Reviews
Today, a large number of home owners have already completed the development of their own units.
If you make a heat generator with your own hands, then, according to most craftsmen, you can really get an economical option for heating a room. You can literally make these units from improvised materials, which allows everyone to get their own source of heat. Some models require factory-made parts that can be custom-made in an industrial environment.
