Lister Based Generators / Re: Cogen would this work?
« on: December 05, 2005, 08:11:44 PM »
It could be possible to use a ele hot water heater as the coolant tank and let it cycle on and off maybe using only one elament as needed letting the gen power it. if it did not work out shut the powerto the tank off, no harm no foul. A heating and cooling place in my area have the tanks from time to time with the elaments bad
{ a $20.00 fix} this would be a cheap way to try it .

Lister Based Generators / Cogen would this work?
« on: December 05, 2005, 06:34:20 PM »
All rightly then, I have been toying with an Idea on the cogen possibilities for a lister 6/1. I was looking at a corn stove that sets outside your home and is automated with an auger system the heats an open system water tank of 180 gallons, to 180 to 200 degrees. Then it is pumped through a heat exchanger that is mounted inside the plenum of your forced air furnace. It works off the thermostat that kicks on the blower as needed. What are the thoughts of doing the same thing with the cooling water from the lister. If it would not retain enough of the heat after the fan has been blowing through the exchanger maybe you could run a modified sealed muffler as a second heat exchanger in the cooling tank to capture more BTUs to keep the temp up. Has anyone done anything like that or any Ideas or comments?
