Heated Bathtubs How Can I Use My Bathtub As A Geothermal Heat Pump?

How can I use my bathtub as a geothermal heat pump? - heated bathtubs

We are experiencing a wave of heat and my house to 80 degrees during the day. I'm cheap and cool, almost unlimited access to water from the soil (64 degrees). Is it possible to put it into practice in my bathtub and used it as a heat sink? How do I do that?

No, this is not at all practical. Just fill the bathtub with water alone will not cool your home. Of course, it will absorb some heat, and if you sit at your side, you will feel cooler because of radiation on the cold water from the body, but we really have no influence on the temperature in your house. Drawn between fiction and reality do not even eligible to be a heat pump anyway. A heat pump works on the principles of refrigeration cycle. Just do not use this one.

Fill the tank to distribute in any way cold water into the house. Derive only a small amount of sensible heat from the air, moisture removal. In fact, when the air cools, the relative humidity rises, so you feel less comfortable. In addition, the heat is extracted from the air is evaporation of water from the bath to cause increased more moisture, making it even more uncomfortable!

The idea of a geothermal heat pump (cooling mode) is to use the land as a sink of heat. This can be concluded done by pumping a liquid into the toiletPoa by an open circuit in a fountain or pond. The idea is that the water at the place where they had not sent back to the sewer system. It's just a waste of drinking water.

That is, you're not crazy. A project that I helped design an irrigation system size. They would pump thousands of gallons of water per Bush. In this case, which also water through the hose to the floor before sending it pumped into the bushes. This has some heat from the house before fan coil units have taken the rest of the air. Only he did it because the water we use later. Note that it is always necessary to derive, fan coil, moisture.

I think he would use a car radiator, hoses, tanks, pumps or some sort of small platform and have a fan-Box .. one cold box .. cold water through raidator fan blows through raidator.

After a hot bath in the cold months out of the water in the bathtub and in the warmer months in the cold water bath. In any case, an ineffective because he is a fan near the bathtub. I have to pay for gas to heat water, but cold water is clear for me.

Do you have the intention of her bathtub bathroom house for 64 degree air to fill its heat to water in the bathtub to lose? Who do a lot of energy, it will not be required. You want the water of 64 degrees and managed by a heating coil, a little fresh air, but thats about it. You buy a unit Fancoil and a pipe in the ground water for fan coil units with a pump. very expensive for good luck.
