Marx290 - GREAT find!

This is incredible and will lead to a vast array of small, highly efficient cooling (or heating) devices. Imagine several of these "daisy chained" (or in parallel) so that...

Jeff, would a more extensive evaporator tube provide a better match for this particular sized scroll compressor? The point was made a couple times by Memphis that the water table is within feet of...

AC, here is a post where you estimate 15,000 BTU/hr coming from the hole if only the bottom half is in water. Memphis said he has water up to within 6 feet of the surface, so perhaps 15,000 -...

AC, I think you had the same thoughts on the efficiency being better than 2.5 or so. Rather than my math, here are your calculations on COP . . . (copied from your post)

CALCULATE COP

COP =...

Why is the COP so low? I would have though with an virtually infinite "sink" (expansion in cold highly conductive water) that a COP in the 4-5 range would be expected. There are no lossy heat plate...

Jeff - excellent You tube video. Thanks for posting . . .

In the current situation that Memphis has, a evaporator temperature of 65 F is far more than the typical situation where it might be...

Memphis,

Now a few things are making sense. I bet that tiny flakes of oxide are partially plugging the cap tube. No big deal - just braze with an inert gas.

The funny thing with small...

If I recall, Memphis stated that he has water to within 8 feet of the ground surface. If this is indeed true, then about 22 feet of the total 30 feet of copper 1/4 inch ground loop ("box 1") in full...

More gas flow will result from a larger diameter cap tube and shorter cap tube length. That said, tiny increases in cap tube diameter (10% increase) will double gas flow through it. Might be far...

Memphis - why would you go to a LARGER cap tube and MORE length? Flow resistance is mostly by reductions in diameter (thinner cap tube) and a longer tube. Or do you mean a thinner cap tube and more...
