Alright guys so today at work I was down in the trenches thinking about my a/c issues come this summer. So anyway, I was thinking about burying a shitload of say 2" pvc pipe in a loop however far underground I need to go. The question is, If I hang some sort of semi radiator that has 2" inlet and outlet, a big ass pump, like a 1 or 1 1/2 hp and like a 24" industrial fan or maybe like a 12 or 14" max fan blowing through the radiator. And then just have the fan run off a thermostat....

Would that work? also would I need a giant rez to hold the water that is circulating?

It would be cooling 2 4k rooms on a flip so there would be 2 radiators in the loop but only one would be cooling at a time.


Im trying to look at these chill kings and also geo-thermal cooling and figure out how to use as little power as possible. I just don't like having an outdoor unit of a mini-split running in the dead of winter. Also mo bulbs = mo buds

There was a big thread all about water cooling, using DIY, and the Hydro Innovations kit. Search for water cooling.
