#3. Heat exchanger. Version 2.

Read the Transcript

• Greetings, boys and girls!
• Today will be the second part of the Ballet de la Merlaison
• we’re taking “Plan B”
• In the previous series we took “Plan A”
• but that didn’t work
• “Plan B” consists of making heat exchangers like this
• So, we have a pipe
• One central pipe
• I’ll show you how it’s made
• Here’s the Schrader valve
• And here’s the half inch thread
• It consists of: 15 mm pipe
• here we have a 45 degree angle
• we’ve been soldering it in the first part of the series, and a thread
• The only thing is that the thread should probably be soldered last
• but all pipes are already soldered
• it really doesn’t matter too much
• Next. Three pipes are used.
• 15 and 22 mm
• and for these pieces I use 18 mm pipe
• So, what are we doing?
• We’re putting 18 mm pipe on
• Here’s the 18 tee. It comes into 22th pipe by outer diameter
• And here we have 18th pipe. So we’ve got a thing like this.
• Whoops, and we put it on. If we didn’t have this
• intermediate 18th pipe, we’d have a big gap.
• And now we simply solder this twice. This pipe is a bit longer
• It is used to connect the tees together
• From this side we also have intermediate pipe
• And it also will be soldered
• The thing that I showed you earlier, that’s how it will look.
• I soldered two pipes at once, but then, when I started to assemble the * thing.
• I saw that it’s not going well.
• I’ll try to solder half-assembled device.
• We’ll have the same, symmetrical part here
• So it’ll be like that:
• Internal pipes for the geoprobe with the Schrader valves
• You’ll see everything
• The half of the heat exchanger is soldered
• I think, it’ll look prettier after some cleaning
• I ran out of oxygen again.
• I probably should refuel with a large balloon
• So, now we have a heat exchanger like this
• these are the Schrader valves on the geoprobes
• For refueling
• This is the level
• The plan is to fill freon somewhere at this level
• So we could see how much fuel the system has
• If the level goes down
• This branch is now shut.
• If these heat exchangers won’t be enough
• I mean, wells
• We’ll be able to extend the system
• This branch is especially for the freon. Here’s one. It is now shut for * compression
• And the second one, which is going to be used here
• It has a Schrader valve installed on it
• Also for the compressing of the freon part of the heat exchanger
• Here’s how it looks. As my colleague said: “It looks like the Iron Throne”
• Not everything is cleaned yet
• Only half of the heat exchanger is cleaned
• and the other half is not cleaned yet
• Here’s out pit
• It now has some waterproofing
• The empty space near the walls will be covered with clay
• These freaking cats everywhere…
