Talk:Domestic Hot Water Systems

Here is some content to play with for real in the new DIYki (tm) :-)

It's an article I've been sketching out when I've had some Round Tuits to spare and therefore probably a good example of where collaborative wiki-type effort could work i.e. the article might get

• finished (if wiki articles can every be considered finished)

and

• published.

It particularly needs some good diagrams and an expanded discussion of unvented DHW systems (especially their control and safety systems).

I have some text on thermal stores and heat banks to go in (when the next Round Tuit comes along)

Ed: I changed back the section on stratification to read "70C at the top and 10C at the bottom" rather than "10C less ..." as you'd amended it. "10C at the bottom" is what I meant to say. If you disagree with the actual figures I've chosen for the example by all means put in some better ones. I plucked the figures out of the air for the sake of illustation but it would be better if they were realistic. I'll go and measure when I'm next out with my IR thermometer and some Round Tuits!

split up article?

This article seems to me to discuss too many concepts which have no direct relation to each other:

• stratification
• direct & indirect
• primary & secondary
• recovery

I'm thinking of splitting these into mini articles of their own and just linking to them from wherever in other articles it seems appropriate e.g. to 'recovery' from places in the articles on unvented and on thermal stores.

Anyone have any feedback on this?

Lot of good stuff there, but as you say its a lot to digest in one go. Generally I'm in favour of splitting subject up into several articles because it makes each one easy to take in, and the material all relevant to the question the reader has. A single thorough but huge article can be a bit intimidating to take it all in, and the reader may not really know which bits are relevant to their query and which arent.

A way to gruoup them ogteher could be to make them all part of the same subcategory, such as DHW design, which DHW system, or something like that. NT 18:28, 20 January 2007 (GMT)

New techology will save the Earth!

Good news for investors!

As a result of long time research and development, 
Planet Resource Recovery, Inc. 

announces a remarkable 'disruptive nanotechnology' recorded under the trade name PetroLuxus. This unique Green technology is biodegradable, safe and its molecules are so microscopic that it can penetrate virtually any natural or manmade material, and break the bond between those materials and hydrocarbons. PetroLuxus is being utilized to increase production 100 to 500% in marginal oil wells, and is also a silver bullet for property owners, as well as state and federal environmental agencies in the remediation of contaminated soil and water, making it possible for the first time to recover hydrocarbons and precious metals from soil that would otherwise be hauled away and burned to ash.
