I've been thinking about different ways to exchange heat and cellar/larger e.t.c.
One of the ideas I'm thinking about trying is a geothermal chiller. They are very temp stable all year round. Very cheap to run as well.
Basically It's a heat exchanger/sink buried about 2-3 meters underground.
I was thinking of burying a 30L sealed container filled with water and about 10m of copper coil. Garden hose from container to surface. Insulate hosing and circulate.
Now this bit is where I'm getting stuck. Pump water in a closed loop HE to HE? Or circulate air through an insulated cool box/room whatever.
Anyone have this system at home?
Thoughts?
