Thread: Solar Cooling

Not sure how it works but I stumbled onto these guys today while walking.
SIAM GREEN POWER International Co.,Ltd.

Mr Elgan Voigtmann Talked to him 1 time in Bangkok All big talk from him.
Sent him a email another time never return a email to me.

They seem to have some interesting ideas.

Their cool-wall concept looks nice, although they need to change their terminology, as radiation heat-transfer does not occur in any significant amount at such low temperatures. It is really a cold-wall convective effect they are using. Never-the-less, an interesting concept.

And as far as less energy used that will depend on weather you will still have ventilation for 2 reasons 1) air filtration and 2) allowing fresh OSA into the occupied space for C02 control. And, on initial start up the the amount of BTU's removed from solid materials will be much greater then air so the compressor will have to work harder. Alot of variables to consider if this system will operate to the customers needs.

Ok would you mind translating that into English? SDS? IDAQ OSA etc

thanks

Sorry about the acronyms.


IDAQ or IAQ- Indoor Air Quality.
OSA- Outside Air.
C02- Carbine Dioxide.
BTU- British Thermal Units.
SBS- Sick Building Syndrome.

CO2 and BTU I knew but the rest were outside of my knowledge. The reply now makes a lot more sense and I can see what you mean. Part of me is thinking "and the chances of someone getting this right in Thailand are ......?"

Thanks for the clarification

Although not building a house ( resort style villa when I do) I am curious to know how one cools using the sun. Would it be the same principle as the old gas refridgerators? Their website doesn't expand on that point.
The other thing I was wondering is would it be beneficial to build pipes into the wall and circulate the swimming pool water through it. At least at my friends house the pool is way too cold for me so in that case the whole structure would be cool.
As for condensation there must be a delta threshold at which condensation starts.
Is there enough delta at night to blow ambient air through the pipes to cool the whole structure. (where is the kite flying smiley?)

My immediate concern with all those water pipes in the walls and ceiling is what happens if it springs a leak? One envisages major damage...



Oh and a bit late for BH but he was looking for a solar pump

Why take the water from a well as the water temp 20c.
Why not just have a solar powered cooling tower,Im sure it would be cooler than 20c

Damn, I forget all the tech. stuff but with the high humidity in Thailand cooling tower efficiency is noy that good. I remember because at Thai Copper we had to use quite large ones to get down to the temp we required and it wasn't that low.

/\/\ VN is correct in his thinking. High Humidity in LOS will require a large media Cooling Tower and the fans will have to run at a high speed! Not very efficient. And as to your question about the refrigerator. Are you talking about the ammonia filled ones with a flame (Small Absorbtion Unit) ?

Are you thick or what
What temp was the machinery you were trying to cool down 150c
Mr Elgan Voigtmann Siam Green Power Is the person that you stumbled when you where walking you ask him groundwater temp.
I know that it is 20C how the f ck is 20c going to cool the house.
After the water goes through the pipes in the wall & floor you can take a hot shower

Not sure how it works but I stumbled onto these guys today while walking.

A heat pump is used to heat up the water in the swimming pool.
I think the name you were looking for is Airconditioning

Geothermal heat pumps are able to reverse the process of heating our homes, to the process of cooling them. This is quite simply a reversal of which way the water flows.

Believ it or not!
i give up

^ At what price?

This is a heat pump with and outdoor coil submerged in the earth to either release heat or absorb cooling (to be simple) depending on weather you are in heating or cooling mode. Also they diagram has a heat exchanger for domestic water usage as well. This type of system works well in an if it is placed in an appropriate area. Pricey install aswell!

Thank's Dude, that is a really nice diagram.

Anybody would now how much such a szstem would cost in LOS?
I know in Europe the price might be up to 10.000 Euros.

I'm as thick as two short planks mate when it comes to thermodynamics.

I was just aluding to the fact that cooling tower efficiency is a factor of wet bulb temperature. Here in LOS the wet bulb temperature is relatively high compared to the dry bulb. So I don't think a cooling tower powered by solar energy would be big enough to get down to the 20 deg you get from ground water.
