Air conditioning
« on: July 16, 2012, 05:14:43 AM »

Has anyone ever figured out how to use an OWB to create air conditioning affects?  An rv refrigerator can run cold by burning propane.  There should be a way to do air conditioning in a similar manner.  I just aint that smart to figure it out.  I was told it would be about $4000 + to add air to my old farm house.  I'd like to find an altrnative if possible.

When I set up my new house I purchased a chilled water coil instead of a hot water coil. There are more rows of coils to allow for chilling but it also works for heat. I hope to drop a loop in the ground or our water way and attempt a homemade geo thermal a/c using my existing system.

I'm sure it is possible but I'm not sure how you would make it work.  Propane refriderators use Amonia.  When the Amonia changes from a liquid to a gas it creates cold temps.  I wouldn't have any clue on how to use your wood burner as a heat source for that though.  Good luck!

I will be sure to let you know if it works. Maybe it will be worth the long journey to come check it out.
