so wait. where does he keep Deadpetals tied up?

I let her get sunshine

[Animal]

she didn't have time to scrawl "Help me" in her flesh from a broken shard of glass before that picture was taken.

[hawkfan8812]

Awe, she looks great.

[Animal]

i'm going to guess that the rope tied to that cinder block is some sort of a ballast for a heavy lid over a buried cellar that she stays in.

[DiverTexas]

That's her chamber pot in front of the cinder block.

What the fuck is a heat pump?
Is that what you silly Americans call a furnace?

its basically an air conditioner that runs both directions. in the summer it takes the heat from the house and pushes it outside to cool the house. in the winter it takes heat from outside and moves it inside. Thermodynamically speaking, its the most efficient way to heat and cool.

The only one that I have heard that sounds better is running a coil deep in the ground to heat/cool the fluid inside using the earth, and then using that to assist in heating/cooling the house. I forget the name they call that.

Geothermal

Geothermal

yeah, that's it. i assume its sort of a new thing in a/c systems because you don't hear much about it. the science seems good, though.

i remember as a kid reading about houses that were built under ground and how the temperaure stays almost a perfect 68 degrees (or something) year round.

Good idea for large buildings, not cheap enough for residential. It will never pay for itself.

I did a lot of spelunking when I was a younger man, and when you get deep enough it's always a constant 72 degrees.

At what point does DT come in and correct all of these mistakes?

[DiverTexas]

Drilling costs are a huge factor in why Geothermal is a very limited market.
The technology has been around for many years, but as CQ said, you will never recoup your investment.

Hats off to Flumper for his explanation of how a heat pump works. We don't add cooling to a structure in the summer, we remove heat.

No real mistakes, our members are not all dumb.

if i was called into teach a thermodynamics class, i would tell them that you can only add or remove heat. class dismissed.

does heat still post here?

[Wut]

No, he was removed.

No, he was removed.

Removed?

[Wut]

No, he was removed.

Removed?

Nah, he never arrived, I was just playing on the “heat can only be added or removed” theme.

Geothermal

People call it geothermal but it isn't accurate. A more accurate term is ground source heat pump.

I said most members, dummy.

[Animal]

some smart guy will come around and solve the problem of drilling costs to make the ground heat pump idea cost effective.

Geothermal

It is correct. Ground source only refers to the heat being rejected into the ground. Geothermal can also utilize water to accomplish it as well. Lakes and rivers are often used as the condenser.
