Hello everybody!
I am stuck in an engineering "dilema" regarding pump head and power for a solar panel and its heat-exchanger!
The problem is like this:
1.the solar panel has a serpentine collector with about 50 "elbows" and a 15 mm diameter copper pipe!
2.the heat exchanger is a 10 meters 15 mm diameter copper pipe put in an insulated barell and the difference between the solar collector and the heat-exchanger is no more than 2 meters!
3.the liquid in the system will be diesel fuel, kerosene or low viscosity synthetic oil
Does this mean that the pump should be able to handle 28 meters of "head" and taking in account the temperature that MIGHT reach the whole system(around 90 degrees C) and that kind of heat?
Never mind the viscosity of the heat-exchange fluid...
I got here because I became even more confused after searching for pumps to fit these requierements!
If someone can give me a good and corect answer , please do so!
I NEED one like a fish on dry land needs air...
Thank you kindly!
Gabriel.
