Part number B -- Xtech2020 review (talk) 03:33, 3 March 2021 (CET)

It seems that the containers used are 200 L, however, in the part list it says 2000 L.

Re: Part number B -- Inddigital (talk) 03:52, 6 March 2021 (CET)

Done!

-- Xtech2020 review (talk) 03:47, 3 March 2021 (CET)

Indicate the estimated capacity of the equipment

Re: -- Inddigital (talk) 04:57, 4 March 2021 (CET)

According to the original source, when a system is properly insulated, hot water can be drawn 24 hours a day.

Part number B -- Xtech2020 review (talk) 04:34, 4 March 2021 (CET)

you must place the material of the pieces in the column specifications

Re: Part number B -- Inddigital (talk) 03:53, 6 March 2021 (CET)

Done!, thanks for this observation

Part number B -- Xtech2020 review (talk) 04:35, 4 March 2021 (CET)

The sheet column should be updated

Re: Part number B -- Inddigital (talk) 03:53, 6 March 2021 (CET)

Done!, thanks for this observation

Part number 2.7 -- Xtech2020 review (talk) 04:40, 4 March 2021 (CET)

This part must be marked on the drawing of Assembly 2

Re: Part number 2.7 -- Inddigital (talk) 20:17, 5 March 2021 (CET)

Done!

Part number 1.3 -- Xtech2020 review (talk) 04:45, 4 March 2021 (CET)

specify material

Re: Part number 1.3 -- Inddigital (talk) 05:17, 4 March 2021 (CET)

I have just updated this item in the part list and drawings

Part number 3.1 -- Xtech2020 review (talk) 04:47, 4 March 2021 (CET)

200 L container

Re: Part number 3.1 -- Inddigital (talk) 20:19, 5 March 2021 (CET)

Done!

Part number 4.1 -- Xtech2020 review (talk) 04:49, 4 March 2021 (CET)

Half of a 200 L container

Re: Part number 4.1 -- Inddigital (talk) 20:38, 5 March 2021 (CET)

Done!

Part number A1 -- Xtech2020 review (talk) 20:00, 4 March 2021 (CET)

The direction of water flow is nowhere to be seen, a hydraulic diagram is needed.

Re: Part number A1 -- Inddigital (talk) 03:54, 6 March 2021 (CET)

In the new technical notes section, this important point has been taken into account.

Part number A1 -- Xtech2020 review (talk) 20:24, 4 March 2021 (CET)

the slip of each collector with respect to its neighboring collector is not specified.

Re: Part number A1 -- Inddigital (talk) 03:58, 6 March 2021 (CET)

There is a small height difference of about 2 cm between the collectors, which is intended to ensure the flow of water and prevent the concentration of dirt in the zigzag pipes, the respective dimension has been placed on the plans.

Part number 1.2 -- Xtech2020 review (talk) 20:36, 4 March 2021 (CET)

What are the standard sizes for galvanized sheets? so as not to waste material.

Re: Part number 1.2 -- Inddigital (talk) 16:06, 5 March 2021 (CET)

The design is based on a commercial sheet of 2.44x1.22 m, so with a single sheet, you can make the 3 collectors, I proceed to update this in the specifications.

Part number 1.3 -- Xtech2020 review (talk) 20:38, 4 March 2021 (CET)

Wouldn't it be easier to buy these parts? ...and if you manufacture them, wouldn't it be better to have a square shape and with only 2 screws?

Re: Part number 1.3 -- Inddigital (talk) 19:34, 5 March 2021 (CET)

Very good observation, it will be taken into account for an improved version of the equipment (a fork).

Part number 2.1 -- Xtech2020 review (talk) 20:41, 4 March 2021 (CET)

the wood must be protected, prepared, painted, etc.

Re: Part number 2.1 -- Inddigital (talk) 19:38, 5 March 2021 (CET)

Correct, a technical note was added

Part number 2.4 -- Xtech2020 review (talk) 20:43, 4 March 2021 (CET)

the material must be 'wood'.

Re: Part number 2.4 -- Inddigital (talk) 20:02, 5 March 2021 (CET)

Done!

Part number 2.2 -- Xtech2020 review (talk) 20:44, 4 March 2021 (CET)

the material must be 'wood'.

Re: Part number 2.2 -- Inddigital (talk) 19:38, 5 March 2021 (CET)

Done!

Part number 2.5 -- Xtech2020 review (talk) 20:47, 4 March 2021 (CET)

polystyrene, fiberglass, etc. can be added if available.

Re: Part number 2.5 -- Inddigital (talk) 20:03, 5 March 2021 (CET)

As you can see, the specifications were updated and this item was also added to the technical notes

Part number 2.6 -- Xtech2020 review (talk) 20:48, 4 March 2021 (CET)

what thickness of glass, alternatives e.g. example plastic, acrylic etc.

Re: Part number 2.6 -- Inddigital (talk) 20:13, 5 March 2021 (CET)

For the size of 1170*900 mm, a thickness of 4 mm will be enough, you can check here:
Glass thickness.jpg

taken from: https://nulinewindows.com.au/blog/glass-thickness-requirements-as1288

Ok, a possible improvement would be to work with acrylic material.

Part number 3.1 -- Xtech2020 review (talk) 20:49, 4 March 2021 (CET)

storage tank, should be further specified

Re: Part number 3.1 -- Inddigital (talk) 20:34, 5 March 2021 (CET)

Specifications was updated, according to standard market sizes for 55-gallon metal drums:

https://bascousa.com/blog/55-gallon-drum-dimensions-height-weight

Part number 3.4 -- Xtech2020 review (talk) 20:50, 4 March 2021 (CET)

how thick should the insulating matting be?

Re: Part number 3.4 -- Inddigital (talk) 20:36, 5 March 2021 (CET)

It is indicated as 27 mm, it may vary according to the material used.

Part number 3.4 -- Xtech2020 review (talk) 20:50, 4 March 2021 (CET)

other alternatives such as polystyrene, fiberglass, etc.

Re: Part number 3.4 -- Inddigital (talk) 20:37, 5 March 2021 (CET)

As in item 2.5, the specifications were updated and this item was also added to the technical notes

Part number 4.1 -- Xtech2020 review (talk) 20:51, 4 March 2021 (CET)

it is not "storage tank" it is "buffer tank".

Re: Part number 4.1 -- Inddigital (talk) 20:39, 5 March 2021 (CET)

Corrected!

Part number 4.1 -- Xtech2020 review (talk) 20:52, 4 March 2021 (CET)

what is shown in the drawing is not half a vessel

Re: Part number 4.1 -- Inddigital (talk) 20:41, 5 March 2021 (CET)

Yes, as I did, I wanted to represent what is left after making a cut in the middle and give it some edge, it is something representative.

Part number 4.3 -- Xtech2020 review (talk) 20:53, 4 March 2021 (CET)

  • This part needs to be further specified
  • Is it possible to use a normal sanitary part?

Re: Part number 4.3 -- Inddigital (talk) 20:52, 5 March 2021 (CET)

Specifications have been updated


Due to the size of the tank and therefore the buoyancy force, I recommend using this type of valve and not one like the one in the toilet, however, tests could be done.

Part number 5.6 -- Xtech2020 review (talk) 20:55, 4 March 2021 (CET)

correct the word 'rectangular' in the part name

Re: Part number 5.6 -- Inddigital (talk) 03:47, 6 March 2021 (CET)

Done!

Part number 5.0 -- Xtech2020 review (talk) 20:57, 4 March 2021 (CET)

  • I believe that with 200kg water in the storage tank and 100kg in the buffer tank that structure does not hold up in windy conditions etc.
  • original structure has trusses
  • should the welds be shown
  • corrosion protection and painting
  • how the structure and tanks are fixed

Re: Part number 5.0 -- Inddigital (talk) 03:46, 6 March 2021 (CET)

A comparative analysis of the structural resistance with and without trusses was carried out, resulting satisfactory in both cases; however, the observation was used as an opportunity to add trusses to the structure.

The rest of the observations have been addressed in the technical notes.

Part number 6.0 -- Xtech2020 review (talk) 21:04, 4 March 2021 (CET)

  • bad name, should be "base collector"
  • welds should be shown
  • inclination depends on the region?
  • anti-corrosion and paint
  • does the structure need trusses?
  • how to fix the collectors ?

Re: Part number 6.0 -- Inddigital (talk) 03:51, 6 March 2021 (CET)

Definitely, the tilt depends on the region, with respect to the orientation of the sun, this point was added in the specifications.



In the case of the low structure, it is more robust than the one subjected to analysis and has a lower and better distributed load, therefore, it should withstand the structural conditions even better.

The rest of the remarks have been corrected and addressed in the drawings and in technical notes.

-- Xtech2020 review (talk) 21:13, 4 March 2021 (CET)

a note sheet can be added, (e.g. standard texts with indications on how to treat certain materials etc.)

  • water flow system
  • treatment of metal structures
  • what type of wood, wood treatment
  • foundations
  • insulation material, maximum temperatures
  • notes for bending of galvanized tubes
    • should be heated?
    • ideas for a bending aid

Re: -- Inddigital (talk) 16:10, 5 March 2021 (CET)

Hello, I am going to include a new section, called 'Technical Notes', here we will be able to see important technical information related to the equipment in general.

-- Xtech2020 review (talk) 05:45, 6 March 2021 (CET)

All revisions were addressed and corrected.

OK, FINISHED
