I'm thinking about building a 5-gal TLUD fired 55-gal water heater for outdoor showers. I'm wondering if anyone has a ballpark estimate for heat transfer efficiency w/ and w/o using a pot skirt attachment. The hot water tank will be a 55-gal steel drum, so I think the setup is pretty analogous to a cookstove setup, just bigger.
20%? Any thoughts are helpful, rough estimates OK.....thanks! FYI, the char from the water heating setup will be used in arbor-loo style modular composting toilets. This infrastructure is being installed during a rambo design-and-build sesh for my wedding on a farm in rural Appalachia (USA), but will be used continually by future events at the site. Cool, huh?!?! Josh
