Suggestions for new 12V gel lead-acid 200Ah+ battery?
SteamyTea replied to DamonHD's topic in Energy Storage
Can't help that think that LA is not the way to go. Li xx are pretty cheap, or would you have to buy a different charge controller. I also wonder how efficient DC charge controllers are when the battery is charging up the last 20%. What is the embodied carbon and energy in a LA batter? https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2013/03/130308111310.htm -
Drove past the Tattoo Parlour just now, door was open so I assumed they were working. As I got closer, I could hear a Kango pecking away. Well hard women get tattooed there I think. Or the builders were in.

SteamyTea replied to NSS's topic in General Alternative Energy Issues
Does it have the option to use multiple amp clamps? The CC devices can have 9 clamp ons and 1 optical. -

Not done a write up as such. Basically a CurrentCost Envi with the optical sensors and transmitter. A RP1 Zero collects the data into a .csv file and I then put that data into a spreadsheet. -

* Power Factor I have two types of meters, one uses clamp on sensors and the other uses an optical sensor that counts the flashes from the real meter. The second one is much more accurate. -
Not quite the same technology. Domestic wood burners do not have fluidised combustion beds or exhaust scrubbers, oh, and constant monitoring. And it is the environmentalists that are trying to get then stopped, it was accountants and ill informed politicians that got them to burn wood chips.

Wasn't there something about sulphur content. "The changes also mean all manufactured solid fuels must now have a low sulphur content and only emit a small amount of smoke." How many people check for this?

Is it the same way that cheap fish tank filters work? The air lowers the density of the surrounding fluid and it then rises.

Anyone got solar control glass ? Pergola or Brise Soleil Instead ?
SteamyTea replied to Loz's topic in Windows & Glazing
If is a really old C-Max, and the seat belts are still clipped in the back since it was MOTed last September. I don't think I have ever sat in the back. -

My car has blacked out rear windows. Hardly notice the difference when looking out. Left is the dark side. -
I have some 7 day timer ones that have been controlling/limting my E7 for years. Think I got them off Amazon.

Probably for the unnecessary legionella cycle.

Air quality with mvhr
SteamyTea replied to lizzie's topic in Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR)
I will bite. So is this a manufacturer that is selling a product that does not contain legal amounts of formaldehyde, by rubbishing the opposition and playing on peoples fears? -

I would say yes, to both.

I have 1 unswitched socket. I hate it with a vengeance. And if you have ever had a plug stuck in a socket, being able to switch the thing off is a comfort.

Welcome. We like things that are a bit different. Do you collect usage data on all your kit?

Technical or a talking one? What sort?
