12 Feet Under: 1000 Square Feet of Geothermal PC Cooling

I would like to know about some of your temps now since we are at what should be peak ground temp

Great project I was wondering if you thought of any bacteria build up in the loop and how you would control that.

I can't figure this out... so it's like a waterloop, but instead of the radiator, it just goes underground?

[yngndrw]

Yes. (Well actually it's split, so there are two loops, one outside and one inside which are joined by a heat exchanger.)

Ah, okay. Everyone else with their mumbo jumbo were complicating the simple beauty of it.

Hey Romir...if you ever come back for an XS visit...please give us an update. How is the system working out for you?

Nice to see you got it done. Now you need to use the loop for indoor residential cooling during the summer

This has been a dream of mine too. My thinking is to run a short geothermal loop under my parents crawl space about 48-inches deep. It's cool all the time and slightly damp, but not wet.

Love the back-hoe and the industrial level of expertise on this project. Never seen anything like this done before. You sir are cutting edged next to the guy who heated his home with base board water heated by his four F@H machines.
