My English is not that good, but I hope you understand the text that follows.
A few months ago I started building a
rocket mass heater.
I didn’t think much about the measures, the building materials, etc., well I built a
rocket mass heater through one movie on Youtube that worked relatively well. ("Copy-Paste" method
After that I build the new version of the
rocket mass heater with addition for
water heating in the whole house. However, I got very poor combustion results. At the top of the
oven I got only 220 degrees C.
I don’t know where the problem is, because the performance of this
rocket mass heater is much worse than before.
I am sending pictures.
• The diameter of the heat riser is 16 cm.
• The depth of the firebox is about 30 cm.
• The distance between the top of the bell and the heat riser is 5 cm.
• The bell is 80 cm high and 57 cm wide.
• Without a bell, the rocket effect is very good, without smoke.
• The diameter of the flue is 13 cm and approximately 6 m long.
•
Rocket mass heater is made in an approximate ratio of 1: 2: 4 (30: 60: 120 cm).
• Now, combustion of rocket mass heater is with smoke. This is the reason of low temperature.
• The
water heater is made of a 3/4 "iron tube located in the insulation space wound around a heat riser (10 coils). This is not an ideal solution but with the temperature that the rocket mass heater
should develop, it should be
enough. (In in this version I get a radiator temperature of only 40 degrees C)
I kindly ask for advice or a recommendation for a book or other sources that deals with this type of rocket mass heater. (I thing this is J type).
