Takhala tikuyesera njira zosiyanasiyana zotenthetsera madzi ndi chitofu chathu choyatsira nkhuni kwa zaka zambiri. Poyamba tinali ndi chitofu chaching'ono cha nkhuni ndipo ndinayika chitoliro cha mkuwa kuchokera ku bokosi lakale lachitsulo lomwe ndinagula ku sitolo yogulitsira zinthu zankhondo. Chimasunga magaloni pafupifupi 8 a madzi ndipo chimagwira ntchito bwino ngati njira yodziyimira payokha kuti ana athu aang'ono asambire, chimatipatsa madzi okwanira kutithira mu shawa. Titamanga chotenthetsera chathu chaching'ono cha miyala, tinasintha kukhala madzi otenthetsera mumphika waukulu pa poto yathu yayikulu, kenako tinayika madzi otentha mu chitini chothirira chomwe chinayikidwa mu shawa. Chokonzera ichi chimapereka magaloni pafupifupi 11⁄2 a madzi otentha. Chinagwira ntchito bwino kwa kanthawi, koma, monga zinthu zambiri zomwe zimachitika mwana wanu akakula, tikufunika kusinthidwa kuti tisunge ukhondo ndi makhalidwe abwino m'nyumba zathu za m'matauni.
Pamene ndinkapita kwa anzanga ena omwe akhala akukhala kunja kwa gridi kwa zaka zambiri, ndinaona makina awo otenthetsera madzi otchedwa thermosiphon stove wood stove. Izi ndi zomwe ndinaphunzira zaka zapitazo, koma sindinazionepo ndi maso anga. Kutha kuona makina ndikukambirana za luso lake ndi ogwiritsa ntchito kumapangitsa kusiyana kwakukulu ngati ndigwira ntchito pa pulojekiti - makamaka yokhudza mapaipi ndi kutentha. Nditakambirana za pulojekitiyi ndi anzanga, ndinali ndi chidaliro choyesa ndekha.
Mofanana ndi mashawa athu akunja a dzuwa, dongosololi limagwiritsa ntchito mphamvu ya thermosiphon, pomwe madzi ozizira amayamba pang'onopang'ono ndipo amatenthedwa, zomwe zimapangitsa kuti akwere, zomwe zimapangitsa kuti madzi aziyenda popanda mapampu kapena madzi opanikizika.
Ndinagula chotenthetsera madzi chakale cha malita 30 kuchokera kwa mnansi wanga. Ndi chakale koma sichikutuluka madzi. Zotenthetsera madzi zomwe zimagwiritsidwa ntchito pa ntchito ngati izi nthawi zambiri zimakhala zosavuta kuzipeza. Sizikukhudza ngati chotenthetseracho chazima kapena ayi, bola ngati sichikutuluka madzi. Chomwe ndinapeza chinali propane, koma ndagwiritsanso ntchito zotenthetsera madzi zakale zamagetsi ndi gasi. Kenako ndinamanga nsanja yokwezeka mu kabati yathu yotenthetsera madzi kotero kuti thankiyo ikhale yayitali kuposa chitofu chathu. Kukhala nacho pamwamba pa chitofu ndikofunikira chifukwa sichingagwire ntchito bwino ngati thankiyo ili pamwamba pa gwero la kutentha. Mwamwayi, kabatiyo inali pamtunda wa mamita ochepa kuchokera pa chitofu chathu. Kuchokera pamenepo, nkhani yokhudza kuyika thankiyo m'madzi.
Chotenthetsera madzi chachizolowezi chimakhala ndi madoko anayi: chimodzi cholowera madzi ozizira, china chotulutsira madzi otentha, valavu yochepetsera kupanikizika, ndi ngalande. Mizere ya madzi otentha ndi ozizira imakhala pamwamba pa chotenthetsera. Madzi ozizira amalowa kuchokera pamwamba; amasunthira pansi pa thanki, komwe amatenthedwa ndi zinthu zotenthetsera; kenako amakwera kupita ku ngalande yotulutsira madzi otentha, komwe amatsikira ku sinki ndi shawa ya nyumba, kapena amabwerera mu thanki. Vavu yochepetsera kupanikizika yomwe ili kumbali yakumwamba ya chotenthetsera imachepetsa kupanikizika ngati kutentha kwa thanki kuli kokwera kwambiri. Kuchokera ku valavu yochepetsera kupanikizika iyi, nthawi zambiri pamakhala chitoliro cha CPVC chomwe chimatsogolera kudera la ngalande pansi kapena kutali ndi nyumba. Pansi pa chotenthetsera, valavu yochepetsera kupanikizika imalola thanki kuti ichotsedwe ngati pakufunika kutero. Madoko onsewa nthawi zambiri amakhala ndi kukula kwa ¾ inchi.
Mu makina athu ophikira matabwa, ndinasiya madoko a madzi otentha ndi ozizira pamalo awo oyambirira pamwamba pa chotenthetsera madzi, ndipo amagwira ntchito yawo yoyambirira: kutumiza madzi ozizira ndi otentha kupita ndi kuchokera ku thanki. Kenako ndinawonjezera cholumikizira cha T ku ngalande kuti pakhale njira imodzi yotulutsira valavu yotulutsira madzi kuti igwire ntchito bwino ndi njira ina yotulutsira madzi ozizira mu chitofu chamatabwa. Ndinawonjezeranso cholumikizira cha T ku valavu yotulutsira madzi, kotero njira imodzi yotulutsira madzi imasunga valavu yotulutsira madzi ikugwira ntchito ndipo njira ina yotulutsira madzi otentha imagwira ntchito kuchokera ku chitofu chamatabwa.
Ndinachepetsa ¾” yolumikizira thanki kukhala ½” kuti ndigwiritse ntchito mapaipi amkuwa osinthika omwe anali pashelefu kuti ndinyamule madzi kuchokera mu thanki kudzera pakhoma la shelefu yathu kupita ku chitofu chathu chamatabwa. Dongosolo loyamba lotenthetsera madzi lomwe tinamanga linali la chotenthetsera chathu chaching'ono chamatabwa, ndinagwiritsa ntchito mapaipi amkuwa kudutsa khoma la njerwa la ng'anjo kupita ku chipinda choyaka moto chachiwiri, madziwo ankatenthedwa m'mapaipi ndipo ankatuluka m'mapaipi. Chotenthetsera chili mumzere waukulu. Tasintha kukhala chitofu chamatabwa chokhazikika, kotero ndinagula choyikapo chachitsulo chosapanga dzimbiri cha Thermo-Bilt cha ¾” m'malo mogwiritsa ntchito mapaipi amkuwa mu chotenthetsera. Ndinasankha chitsulo chifukwa sindikuganiza kuti mkuwa ungakhalebe m'chipinda chachikulu choyaka moto cha chitofu chamatabwa. Thermo-Bilt imapanga ma coil amitundu yosiyanasiyana. Yathu ndi yaying'ono kwambiri - curve yooneka ngati U ya 18″ yomwe imayikidwa mkati mwa chitofu chathu. Malekezero a coil ndi ulusi, ndipo Thermo-Bilt imaphatikizapo zida zonse zofunika pakuyika, ngakhale chobowolera chodulira mabowo awiri pakhoma la ng'anjo ndi valavu yatsopano yopumulira.
Ma coil ndi osavuta kuyika. Ndinaboola mabowo awiri kumbuyo kwa chitofu chathu (mungathe kuchita mbali ngati mawonekedwe anu ndi osiyana), ndinadutsa coil m'mabowo, ndinailumikiza ndi nati ndi chotsukira chomwe chaperekedwa, ndikuchilumikiza ku thanki. Ndinasintha kupita ku PEX piping kuti ndigwiritse ntchito mapaipi ena a makina, kotero ndinawonjezera zitsulo ziwiri za mainchesi 6 kumapeto kwa ma coil kuti PEX yapulasitiki isatenthedwe ndi uvuni.
Timakonda dongosololi! Ingoyatsani kwa theka la ola ndipo tili ndi madzi otentha okwanira osambira bwino. Nyengo ikazizira kwambiri ndipo moto wathu ukuyaka nthawi yayitali, timakhala ndi madzi otentha tsiku lonse. Masiku omwe tinkakhala ndi moto kwa maola angapo m'mawa, tinkapeza kuti madziwo akadali otentha mokwanira kusamba masana kapena awiri. Pa moyo wathu wosavuta - kuphatikizapo anyamata awiri achichepere - izi ndi kusintha kwakukulu pa moyo wathu. Ndipo, ndithudi, zimakhala zosangalatsa kutentha nyumba yathu ndikupeza madzi otentha nthawi imodzi, pogwiritsa ntchito matabwa - gwero lamphamvu lopangidwanso. Dziwani zambiri za nyumba yathu ya m'matauni.
Kwa zaka 50 ku MOTHER EARTH NEWS, takhala tikugwira ntchito yoteteza zachilengedwe za dziko lapansi pamene tikukuthandizani kusunga ndalama. Mupeza malangizo ochepetsera ndalama zanu zotenthetsera, kulima zipatso zatsopano, zachilengedwe kunyumba, ndi zina zambiri. Ichi ndichifukwa chake tikufuna kuti musunge ndalama ndi mitengo polembetsa ku dongosolo lathu losungira ndalama zodzikonzera zokha zomwe siziwononga dziko lapansi. Lipirani ndi kirediti kadi ndipo mutha kusunga $5 yowonjezera ndikupeza makope 6 a MOTHER EARTH NEWS pa $14.95 yokha (ya ku US yokha). Muthanso kugwiritsa ntchito njira ya Bill Me ndikulipira $19.95 pa magawo 6.
