Solar Hot Water and Space Heating System With Integrated Boiler

Norm’s system uses a large homemade solar heat storage and drain back tank to provide solar space heating and domestic water heating for his home in Maine.  The system integrates the solar heating with a boiler that provides the space and water heating functions when the solar water is not hot enough.

solar heat storage tank and copper coil heat exchangers

The tank, plumbing and heat exchangers are very nicely done and provide a lot of good ideas and construction details.
Its also a good example of getting professional help with some parts of the system while doing the rest yourself.

Overview

The overall design of the heat distribution system was done by Northeast Radiant Technologies of Gardiner, Maine.  One facet of their business caters to DIYers.  They also made suggestions on boiler specs that were passed on to George Phelps of Gilman Plumbing and Heating of Newport, Maine.  George worked with Quincy Hydronic Technology of Portsmouth, New Hampshire.

solar dhw and space heating system overview
Installed system with boiler at upper left.

This system combines a 550 gallon drainback solar tank combined with a conventional propane fired boiler (Biasi Riva Plus).  The solar tank has two 60′ copper coils to heat domestic hot water and two 90′ coils for space heating.  Either part of the system can operate independently of the other or they can work together.  A temperature sensor in the tank is attached to a relay that cuts power to the boiler any time that the tank temperature is greater than 125 F.Read More

VARIOUS HEATING SYSTEM IN RETROSPECT

You have now seen the various diagrams of different heating system. I will now show you photos with tags respectively, so you will recognize one when you see it.

split central air cooling/heating system

SPLIT CENTRAL AIR COOLING/HEATING SYSTEM (HVAC)

  A central air conditioner (or heat pump) is either a split-cooling heating system unit or a packaged unit. The majority of consumers have split systems in their homes. Read More

SINGLE FORCE AIR HEATING SYSTEM

SINGLE FORCE AIR HEATING SYSTEM

This heating system is similar to central air but missing the outside and roof unit.( condenser and compressor). However, the principles of operations are the same without the cooling.Read More

HYDRONIC HEATING SYSTEM

Hydronics is the use of a liquid heat-transfer medium in heating and cooling systems. The working fluid is typically water, glycol, or mineral oil.Read More

STEAM HEATING SYSTEM

steam heating diagram

In steam heating systems, a boiler furnace heats water by means of a gas or oil-fired burner and turns it into steam. The steam travels through pipes to radiators or convectors, which give off heat and warm the room.Read More

Steam Heating Systems: Cons

There is a reason gas steam boilers aren’t on the radar for most homeowners when it comes to updating their home heating system.Read More

baseboard heating

Baseboard heating really refers to two separate kinds of heating systems. Electric baseboard heaters are individual units that heat a house room-by-room. They require no central heating and no expensive duct work. They are less efficient than most central heating systems, but use principles of radiation and air flow to work better than most other space heating units.

electric baseboard heaters

Electric Baseboard Heaters

Electric baseboard heaters use electric resistance to provide their own kind of baseboard heating. Cables inside the heating unit warm the air, pushing it out of the unit.Read More

hot water or hydronic baseboard heating

Hot water baseboard heaters (also called hydronic baseboard heaters) use central heating, but channel hot water through pipes to individual baseboardRead More
