I'm thinking of constructing a geothermal cooling closed loop and was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of a good design guide?
I've done some google searches and haven't really hit on any thing much more thorough than some concept ideas.
I am thinking of putting it in my crawlspace and would like to minimize the amount of digging to just what is necessary. I'm thinking that I shouldn't need to go more than 6-8" deep as crawl area seems to stay fairly cool all year round.
Any ideas on what material, diameter, length, depth would work best to be able to create a 5-8 degree drop on a 150 gallons assuming the soil temp is around 60 degrees? (I need to actually measure the temp)
Thanks!
