jut run it all directly off a windmill. of course no wind...Two pumps, a compressor, and a fan. It uses more power than you think. You'd need a big gennie to run it.
Up to 9kw? Not likelyjut run it all directly off a windmill. of course no wind...
I think a pellet burning stove would be ideal, power consumption would be around 3 amps, and today's pellet stoves heating a 2200sqft home should only use about 1 40lb bag (prices range from 187.00 to 225.00 per ton from what I've seem) at about a 4-5 dollar cost per day on pellets.
I've got a 96% gas furnace as a secondary heating source and a 9.0seer heat pump as primary source and I'm still considering a pellet insert for two things.
Operation cost, it'll be less expensive to heat overall.
Low power consumption in case of a power outage so I can divert more power if needed to other things.
this is pretty close but get one that burns pellets and wood in case one day for some reason you can't get the pellets you could still burn wood in it.
you're thinking about it wrong. By directly off the windmill I mean directly, not generate electricity with the windmill then run a few pumps.Up to 9kw? Not likely
you're thinking about it wrong. By directly off the windmill I mean directly, not generate electricity with the windmill then run a few pumps.
a gear box could be created that would turn each compressor/pump at whatever speed you need. You could even hook up a small gas motor for days with no wind. the water pumps don't really need to move water very fast for heating and cooling.
ok, makes much more sense.you're thinking about it wrong. By directly off the windmill I mean directly, not generate electricity with the windmill then run a few pumps.
