New House AC & Heating
|
|
| BobVal 2005-11-21, 9:21 pm |
| Hello:
I am building a new home on the border of VA & NC and plan on putting a
GeoThermal system to Heat and Cool the house.
All the designers want to put the AC in the floor so the same ducks can
be used for heat in ther winter. I never liked AC coming from the
floor and do not like the idea of heat from the ceiling.
I know I have very little understanding of this but to me I would think
that a great system would be to have the AC coming from the ceiling and
using the floor heat vents as a return in the summer and in the winter
have the heat come from the floor and use the ceiling vents as a
return.
Now everyone I try to talk to about this makes me feel like my idea is
so far out in space it is about to leave our solar system.
Is this idea doable? Does anyone know of someone that can advise me on
the best way to go? Right now my thoughts are to have the AC from the
ceiling and have the GeoThermal heat as much hot water as possible for
a radiant heating system, but even this suggestion to them seem so out
in space.
Any suggestions, reading material or recommendations would be helpful.
Got a better idea, please suggest that as well.
BobVal

Other than it seems like you got it backwards......

Here at High Rock, our Ducks stay year round, and they are not worried about
air flow.

Properly designed ducT systems dont care where they are located.

Its because they have prob done a manual D and know that its a waste of
their time, and your money.

Ask your local contractors in your area...if they are capable of doing it,
and its a plausable idea, then go with whatever you want...since its your
money.
> Any suggestions, reading material or recommendations would be helpful.
The local community college offers a 4 year class on how to understand, and
do what you are talking about...then, you get to go take the test for your
H1 ticket...

Hmmmm.......
"Ole Buzzer" is keeping up pretty well so far....41 k unit, circa
1996...currently running well water through it, entering at ~ 51
deg...average 6 gpm, probly.....it's been running non-stop ever since sunday
afternoon when I hacked it in as emergency heat.
[01:18] <UnoMaster> Kalama, Washington (98625) Conditions & -- 1:18 AM PST
Updated: 1:15 AM PST
[01:18] <UnoMaster> Temp: 30F/-1C Windchill: 27F/-3C Humidity: 93%
69 deg upstairs--really not too bad for a fucking 7500 sf shack.
IMO, FHP had built the the earlier models to simply work--kinda like the
energizer bunny....really simple controls...dunno about their latest /
greatest products though.

Its funny looking back....my first post on this group was about "Ole Buzzer"

I'll elaborate here...
The electrical controls are set up for a solid lockout on any high or low
pressure situation.....
I've tryed to freeze the coil intentionally, what happens is the the suction
pressure cuts out the electricals if there is in-sufficient water flow
volume or EWT.
Reset is by throwing the breaker once your refrigerant pressures have
equalized.
HOWEVER...
This particular one dont have any sort of short cycling controls whatsoever,
so if you try and restart it before it has equalized, then you damned better
well not have oversized your mains input--it has no problem whatsoever in
trying to restart under a max head if you command it to do so.

Reasin being, freezing it will suposedly loosen any mineral deposits on
the coils....calcium deposition being problemmatic where Im at.
Once your flow rate is near to zero, pretty much you can assume any
deposition will have been knocked loose.
Suggest think about it, might jiust be be hack advice.
