Hey there,

A heat front just passed us and it got me an idea. That is basicly the only time that the apartment gets to hot to do anything ... and this heat fronts only last like 4 days ... could i use water to cool down the apartment on those hot days ?

My apartment is 20 m^2 (215 feet^2). Water is quite cheep here soo i could use up to 1 cubic meter of it.

Water can hold huge amounts of energy, the only problem is that the temperature difference between air and water will be small ( about 10C ) which means it will be very hard to cool air with it. I had a few ideas, for instance connect a radiator with water pump and also add some fans to blow over radiator. Or simply attach some pipes to wall and as water runs through the pipes, it will be touching the wall and cooling it, and since the wall acts as a huge radiator, it will cool down the air ... could this be done ?
