Natural heating and cooling systems design using boron mixture

28268

The heating and cooling systems are used for comfort in summer hot to winter cold seasons. Fuel and energy costs of heating-cooling systems are increasing steadily day by day. On the other hand, the use of fossil fuels damage the environment. Due tothese reasons, the heating-cooling systems should be planed in a cheaper and more environmentally friendly manners. In recent years, some studies suggest placement of metal pipes 2 m below the earth surface for benefit from the soil heat to provide natural heating and cooling systems. In this article, metal tubes are placed into the soil at a certain depth and the ends of these tubes are supported by a sodium sulfate+borax decahydrate+pure water mixture in order to increase the efficiency of heating and cooling systems.
