We use the solar energy every day in many different ways. When we hang laundry outside to dry in the sun, we are using the solar heat to do work, drying our clothes.Eco buildershttp://www.urbanedgehomes.com.au/VIC/greensmart.aspxnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1782071132773305341.post-48883568531321845332010-06-23T14:47:34.146-04:002010-06-23T14:47:34.146-04:00I lime that circular rack.

My idea is to make a drying rack out of copper tubing (3/4 in for headers and 1/2 inch for the "lines" spaced about 12-16" apart. Then I would divert the return hot water from the boiler thru the tubing grid on which the clothes are hanging before it goes to the boiler return. This would shorten the drying time, humidify the house in winter, and lower the return water temp further, which is important with a condensing type boiler for higher efficiency. When not drying clothes, it could also act a radiator to warm the space. I would hang mine from the ceiling, but it could be wall mounted too.Connecticut Yankeeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05493649842745532211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1782071132773305341.post-85859553936435045682010-04-26T08:33:46.884-04:002010-04-26T08:33:46.884-04:00I like how the picture combines the solar water he...I like how the picture combines the solar water heating with the solar clothes drying! We live in an apartment and don't have a clothesline, but still air dry our clothes using this <a href="http://www.bestdryingrack.com" rel="nofollow">clothes drying rack</a> - being round it works really nice under our ceiling fan!Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06018551684446608803noreply@blogger.com
