CHP Update

[Tom Reed]

Having used the chp system for a few weeks I'm pleased with the results. The water is flowing through the hydronic loops in the basement and master bed room. The bed room is on the opposite side of the house from the wood stove, so it stays a bit cool back there and I tended to run the wood stove a bit harder to warm it up back there. Now with the chp running about 5 hours every other day, due to little sun, the back room stays about 70 f and the floor while not quite warm is very comfortable on the bare feet. Sweet!

Glad to hear its working for you. It will prolly be next winter before I get mine running. It is in the garage for emergency if needed.

Great stuff Tom!

My CHP system is still but a distant dream.... I reckon I'm about 2 years behind some of you guys (at the rate I work, at least!) but it's nice to see all these systems really starting to come into their own.

Especially the Lister[oid] based ones. None of this noisy chaggggfgggagaargh nonsense
