OK this set up is for pumping the cool night air into and through the building - between the hot summer days.

And it's used for pumping the warm day air in - between the cold winter nights.

Lets assume that the summer day temperatures are 35* - 42*C and the night temperatures are say 16 - 22*C.

The cool night time temperature kicks in around say 10 pm to midnight and fizzes out around 7 to 9 am..

That is a good 7 - 9 hours of cool night air time, to pump the cool night air into the building.

This works. It keeps the average building internal temperature down by 6 to 12*C.

In winter, the outside sunny area temperature is say 26*C, and the nights are 2 to 9*C, I can suck all that cold air at floor level out of the building and fill it with warm air, heating up the inside from say 10am to 4 pm...

That keeps the internal temperature about 18 - 20*C.

With power costing ~45c a Kwh - an 80W fan uses about 25c a day to heat and cool a whole building.

This system is climate and season dependent - and will work well in some areas and not others and in different parts of the year... and not others.

For instance, when the summers are REALLY hot - like 43*C or more during the day and it's still 33 - 35*C at 3 or 4 am... Your better off sealing up ONE room and insulating that place and using air conditioning.

And in a really cold winter, where it's say 2 or 3*C at night and 7, 8, 9, 10*C during the day - your better off using reverse cycle air conditioning... and heating your sealed up and insulated room, on the cheap like that.

This system of heating and cooling - in my part of the world works well for the type of climate, the range of temperatures and the typical summer and winter temperatures.

Some summers are cool, to mild to fairly hot, at low 30's to high 30's and low 40's - and some are just fucking roasting - like 45 - 47*C.

Some winters can be mild and warmish, and some can be fucking freezing.

But if you live in very hot equatorial areas or polar regions - your climate will and can be very different to my typical weather patterns and temperatures and seasonal variations.

Here where I live, TYPICALLY - about 4 to 6 weeks in the hottest part of summer and the coldest part of winter - this system can't be used...

But out of 52 weeks in a year, that leaves about 40 weeks where it can be used for fresh air and good to great low cost heating and cooling.....

That is around say 280 days out of 365 days, where I can get great heating and cooling - some times for 4 hours or 8 hours so the cost and the time of use can be 5c a day to 30c a day...

The idea that we must have an all or nothing solution, that works all the time is wrong...

This system works really well most of the time, and at very low cost.

The sun heats up the place in winter, and I keep that heat in over night... and I pump the cold air out from the floor level, during the day, and the sun heated air, warms the place up...

And in the summer it's reversed, the planet loses the heat at night to space and I move that cool air through the building and keep the heat out during the day.

And while all the other dumb arses, living with big reverse cycle air conditioners, wood fires etc., and piss poor insulation, are paying HUGE bills for their heating and cooling, I am doing very well with fresh air and and exceptionally low power bills.

Use your brains, this is what they are for.

Shane , just remember that the larger portion of the population of this planet either has no brains or has been dumbed down by the media . you are asking people that believe that the electric car "will save the planet " to actually engage in cognet logical thought . these are the people that when asked " so how do you think that they make electricity ?" give you the thousand meter stare . glazed eyed zombies constitute at least 90% of the population of this planet .

@Leader_Desslok: With lots of insulation and using only the "big fan" to suck in the warm day air and blow out the cold night air - and some WARM clothing over night... My power is about 22c a day. Using a 2400W fan heater, in a poorly insulated building = 2.4 Kw × 12 Hours a day × .45c a Kwh = $13 a day. Say the air sucking fan for 100 days of winter = $25 Vs the shitty fan heater = $1300. This is why it pays to add insulation over all the energy transfer points (big windows and glass doors etc.) and use the heat of the sun to warm the building....

@Leader_Desslok: Like 3 minutes a day for 100 days = a $25 power bill, and I UN-earn a debit of $1300 that is 3 minutes a day for 1/3 of a year... That is to occassionally get past the panels = seconds - and turn the fan on and off when it gets warm enough and cold enough... Make it 2 minutes a day or less.... 200 minutes = $3 1/2 hours - and I have UN-spent $1300

AND while these MIGHT NOT have the defrost the coils function if they are used as heaters to pump hot air inside...... They probably do... Mehhh find out... I can use the cheapest of the cheap portable airconditioner I have, to pump heated air into the building - so that rises to the top of the room, moves through the building, and then exits with the cold air, from the bottom of the room at floor level - keeping the air fresh and clean in the building and taking the chill off the air.... It's a matter of knowing how to make ducts and spacers and separating the hot sections of the compressor from the cold sections of the compressor... A bit of smarts and a few panels and ducting etc.. and GOOD insulation - and I have turned a shitty winter time ice box and summer time oven into a really cheap to heat and cool bt of accomodation... https://mydecorative.com/wp-co....ntent/uploads/2020/0

@Leader_Desslok: This say uses 480W as a heat pump - but it moves say 2000W of heat... Wayyyyyy cheaper than a fan heater or a radiant heater... AND I don't need "warm rooms" just heated a little to take the extreme winter time chill off them , so my fingers don't ice up as I type and my breath is not coming out as a fog...
