Wood-fired boiler DC circulation pump options

JR Hill

I am researching wood furnace options that can operate on DC power inputs. Are there any successful DC furnace experiences/recommendations out there? Does anyone know of a DC equivalent to the Taco 007 Series circulation pumps running on DC?

Thx in advance,
JR

I think this is the ultimate interesting project for a solar heated shed that I have seen... Including the step by step installs (and goofs). He uses DC solar panel powered circulating pumps and (still?) sells his own DC powered thermal controller.

Also a nice large radient heat, bit more low tech home made heating system. Also very interesting and informative (AC pumps).

be sure to check the pump temp ratings when evaluating

Google el-sid pumps. There are many solar dealers that have them for sale. I checked our host and they don,t have them listed. There is an amish not too far from me that has a Central Boiler outside wood furnace and I was wondering how he makes it work since they don,t use electric. Think I might stop and ask him. Also Homepower magazine had an article on them. ::Dsolarvic:D

Thx all,

Though expensive, the Laing DC Solar Pump seems to be the best option for anybody else that is interested.

Best,
