to geothermal boreholes Baskets / An alternative

The primary energy source has long been the geothermal heat is used. This seems to be an ecologically and economically sound solution. To obtain the most geothermal boreholes are used. Even in an object designed by us, we wanted to resort to such a heat source. Accordingly, we have several preliminary inquiries with the relevant authorities took. It turned out that our parcel is located in a water protection zone, as our land is near the shore of Lake Zurich. So there is a possibility that we will encounter groundwater. If this is the case, the hole will be broken, and we must find an alternative to the boreholes. So what are the alternatives? Our first thought was to switch to natural gas as our land is already developed accordingly. The client wanted to achieve but the Minergy standard and find an ecological solution.
This was the starting point for finding a real alternative. Accordingly, I was looking for another option, the geothermal energy use, and I came across the geothermal baskets. These are relatively new and not widespread in Switzerland. I, too, these baskets are new. So I try in the following sections to learn how they work? What is the difference to the geothermal probes? And if this is a real alternative in our specific case.


function of Erdwärmkörbe

Each basket consists of a geothermal heat about 50 m long, spiral-wound polyethylene pipe, which is UV resistant and frost resistant. This tube is applied to a basket-shaped scaffold. In the pipe circulates a heat transfer fluid and absorbs the heat of the surrounding earth. The cold heat transfer fluid flows in the outer spiral tube of the basket down to the ground to escape the maximum amount of heat, and then rises in the inner tube in the middle of the basket back up, to prevent cooling. Using a heat exchanger is the heat transfer fluid transfers its heat energy to the working medium of the heat pump, which in turn supplies the heating system with hot water.
The top of the geothermal basket comes to lie at a depth of 1.5 m, so that the heat is in the basket of frost-free zone of the soil. The geothermal baskets are therefore introduced at a depth of 1.5 to 3 m into the ground and are thus unaffected by the daily temperature fluctuations. In addition, do not run the seasonal variations in temperature at this depth in sync with the surface temperature. In this zone, the temperature of the earth in November, the highest (about 13 ° C), ie at the beginning of the heating season, and is deepest at the beginning of the summer (about 7 ° C) when the heater no longer needed or the system may be used for cooling. Because geothermal heat escape
basket plants the soil heat energy, lowers its temperature during the heating season. In the summer months must be adjusted so a new thermal equilibrium. Due to the shallow geothermal baskets regeneration of the soil mainly by solar radiation and the seepage of rain water is possible.
a distance of 4 m between the geothermal baskets is maintained to ensure optimal function the system be guaranteed.
For the installation of geothermal baskets with a shovel dug a trench of 60 cm width and a depth of less than 1 meter. Thereafter, a first hole is dug to a depth of 3.5 m and it installed a geothermal basket, lie about 1.5 m below the upper edge of the earth's surface is. The hole is then filled with excavated material which is yielded by the excavation, or sand, where the quality of the excavated material is insufficient. At a distance of 4 m another hole is dug, into which the next geothermal cage is installed. Experience has shown that optimal geothermal, three baskets are connected in series with each other and the individual groups should be aligned in parallel. If the geothermal baskets are inserted in the ground, they are interconnected and connected to the heat pump (distribution = cold side and the collector = hot side).

Resume

based on our project, the geothermal baskets a real alternative. The primary advantage is the low installation depth. In our case this is not helping to push into ground water, or more than 2m are to be above the highest water table. This has been the investigations of geologists shown and are included in his report. Thus, the installation also possible in the groundwater protection zone. From the functional principle, the geothermal loop geothermal heat and the fact hardly different baskets. The need area for the installation of geothermal baskets we have in our property. The only problem is the license for this type of geothermal energy. In our District, as already mentioned, no such authorization procedures are in place. But we are met with the competent authorities in contact and discuss the problem and hope to be allowed to use the geothermal baskets. For our client so we could cost-neutral and environmentally friendly alternative to offer the boreholes.

Challenge: humane control.

great effort, we realize complex home automation systems. Technology is in vogue! We believe in quality of life and ease our conscience towards the environment. The temptation is great, one can hardly resist her: Automation! The systems will, without our intervention, to adapt to our behavior. We are free! But if you look closely, we create another "technical" state of which we depend.

The systems are complex, it requires an increased control effort. Technically, today control almost any wish can be fulfilled. From simple circuits to computer-driven programs with the involvement of several parameters. But which control for whom? Maybe that would have the pleasure of a fully automated computer system - the majority of people that could hardly do something.

following situation we have discussed recently in the office in a small schoolhouse with four class units for mentally disabled young people, are controlled for ventilation and night cooling in summer motorized window sash. In a bigger school you control such a system usually centrally via a networked computer with the system supplier. For a small school building such a system is too expensive and too complex to operate.

For our small school therefore a significant one for economic reasons is already clear. The system must be via electronic switches (bus system) is controlled. To meet the requirements, parameters must be set with priorities be. These parameters arise from the energy requirements (heat loss), weather-related requirements (rain, storm) and the user-specific needs (teachers, students), the latter occupies a special position because it engages in the direct daily life.

in dealings with the user-specific needs, two opposite attitudes. One possibility would be to install in any room Co2 sensors that trigger after a certain amount of CO2 in the air, a shock ventilation. For the indoor air quality that is certainly the best solution, but one which time uncoordinated Open middle of the class has a disturbing, perceptive sensitive especially for young people. Another possibility is the time-coordinated air, triggering the opening of the wings at the end of the lesson. The result is a rhythm, similar to the break ring. The sudden opening of the air wing become such a taken for granted in everyday life.

If we set this requirement as the basic parameters provides our switching system as follows:

basic parameters: coordination, periodic timer to blow air through school hours based.

side parameters I: technical improvements to the energy (heat loss in winter) will prevent airing in unoccupied rooms by Co2 sensor.

side parameters II: night cooling controlled with appropriate outdoor temperature control with outside temperature sensor and timer.

side parameters III: End of the night cooling as it reaches a certain internal temperature using internal temperature sensor or in bad weather and weather station.

I think we were able to achieve the needs of such control, which stops a day to understand the logic.

The control and operation of the home technology requires extremely careful planning. For it is precisely the operation of these things that unconsciously every day strong, usually intervenes in the lives of the residents. Above all, we (future) Architects are required in this topic. Only we know the needs of the client in such an extent that it requires the development of such controls. The conscious use of the control we need to learn.

lime - the merciless money - and energy-hungry

drinking water - healthy and clean

Water is a precious commodity. What in Switzerland, flows from the tap is of high quality, clean and healthy d. In many parts of the country is t be lime is very high and the water quality hard.

Hard water can be drunk safely . Limestone deposited si ch but a b and caused many systems, machinery and equipment damage sensitive. This is particularly true if the what heated water. For example, in boilers, washing machines, coffee machines, showers and pans. Who needs more additional washes with hard water detergent.

How lime enters our drinking water?

in the global water cycle What amounts of water contained are in constant exchange with the materials of their environment. S nce the water because of the sunlight from the sea surface (ect or lakes and rivers.) Ago evaporates, it comes with the NEN air environment in contact with the in the atmosphere phere gases located in the rising water vapor release. This includes vital for un s human S accurate material, such as and carbon dioxide that we exhale. Ase but also Rep. - such as sulfur dioxide from industrial plants - solve in water vapor, resulting in a pH-lowering of the water (acid rain).

the next contact, the water then during passes through the ground. The seepage, slightly acidic rain dissolves on its way from the surface down to the ground minerals from the soil and transported it in dissolved Form on the water works away up in our households.

The greater the amounts of limestone in the soil, the harder the water, the more we rtvolle minerals such as calcium and magnesium are dissolved in water.

How much is the energy loss when the heat exchanger with a millimeter hard lime is occupied?

When using fossil fuels:
1mm calcification = 10% energy loss
2mm calcification = 17% energy loss
3mm calcification = 23% energy loss
4mm lime deposits = 28% energy loss

For electric boilers, the deposits lead to the defective heating elements, resulting in high repair costs with the result.

What flows with lime the drinking water through our water pipes ?
It depends on the amount of water and water hardness.

following assumptions:
water annual consumption for a detached house 200m3

- 20 ° f (11.2 ° dH) flows through our annual 40 kg lime water pipes

- at 30 ° f (16.8 ° dH) flows annually 60 kg of lime through our water pipes

- 40 ° f (22.4 ° dH) flows annually, 80 kg of lime by u ur water pipes

With these enormous quantities of lime is understandable that erleitugen problems Was and heat exchangers are inevitable.

What does a high water hardness for a homeowner?

A too high water hardness is not harmful to health. T seen but not to technical. Due to a high water hardness may arise for the homeowner, a high damage. It's just a matter of time until lime problems occur.

Some examples:

- Difficult to remove calcium deposits on the ceramics in the bathroom and kitchen.

- water damage as a result of defective appliances, and porous hoses.

- calcification or blockage of the pipe installations.

- destruction of electrical appliances such as coffee eMaschines, kettles, water heaters or washing machines.

- Poor cleaning results when washing dishes and glasses.

- High consumption of detergents in the washing machine.

- Increased risk of contamination by enlarged inner surface of the pipe obligations and the hot water tank.

magnetic force instead of chemicals and salt

The magnetic force is the most ecological solution for the prevention of calcification in the conduction system and the production of so-called "soft water".

Running water occur through a strong magnetic field, some physical phenomena that can be up to now by science in theory only explains to some extent. M to estimates that is in the water negatively charged water molecules (H2O) and mineral complexes with a positive charge may be. Then takes place simultaneously with the lime crystals, smashing increased approximately 40-fold and a conversion to "aragonite", a softer calcareous. These much smaller aragonite particles are now also positively charged and remain n in the water permanently in suspension. With a total evaporation of the water as in a pan or on a surface remains a nic ht liable white powder.

can

This Kalkwandler directly on the line be mounted. Condition is that the existing water line, brass, copper, plastic or stainless steel. Only in this way the magnetic field can penetrate the water flowing through properly. For galvanized steel pipes in older buildings, a short piece of pipe by the local plumbing to be replaced with a brass tube.

Why Kalkwandler for example, by the company or Mediagon Maratch

Clean:
Soft water makes for shiny fittings and tiles throughout the house. The water pipes do not calcify. It is a long-term protection against expensive repairs

well-being:
Soft water stimulates the skin with all important minerals. It also saves Shampoo , bath and shower gel and soap. The wash is gentle and soft and keeps much longer.

Aroma:
With soft water, you can enjoy the tea, coffee and food even more. Also, the pastries are made with ionized water taste more intense. Because the limestone can no longer store the flavors.

Beauty:
Many plants need a soft Water. They thrive better and thus grow faster with healthy beauty. Without the usual unsightly lime spots on flowers and leaves.

reflection of the work process:

I have dealt with this topic because I was confronted with it and I just think you should tell more. About 2 months later a representative of the Company Mediagon to our home and of course wanted to sell his product. At first we were a little skeptical, then he said we could test the unit six weeks free and then decide whether we like it or not. We agreed, and ultimately a positive surprise. The cleaning is much easier now and in the bathroom and the kitchen it has only soft lime. We need less detergent and shampoo and, above all, the drinking water has improved. So I'm personally excited about this device and would recommend it to anyone. For the device speaks also of course that it's not so expensive (1900 francs for a single-family house), and therefore really worth when you see what All of this saves you time, money and nerve!

Why Does My Oovoo Say Signed In But Invisible

Electrochromic window glasses - shading at the push

Electrochromic windows are one of the many innovations being developed now for window glasses. These glasses with electrical voltage, the light transmittance of the glasses can be controlled. The advantage of this solution over the shutters is that the glass is colored blue and transparent, but still.

first How do these windows?

In the following graph of the structure of an electrochromic laminated glass shown.
The electrochromic laminated glass consists of two 4 mm thick laminated glass which, with transparent, conductive oxide coated (eg, fluorine-doped tin oxide) are. One glass is also shown with a tungsten oxide and the other disc with a so-called counter-electrode. Between these two glasses is a lithium-ion conductive polymer film. The two electrodes are connected to the circuit and can be activated by electrical impulses.

the electrodes are activated with electrical current, the lithium ions migrate from the tungsten and darken the glass. Thus, less light and less energy to pass through the glass. The entire process takes about 12 black-minutes.
As the winter in Central Europe Thermal protection can not be neglected, must also have a heat-resistant glass behind this electrochromic element can be built so that the entire window structure takes the following form.

As with "normal" heat-insulated windows, the space between the panes filled with a gas, so that an optimum thermal insulation can be achieved.

second Physical characteristics of electrochromic windows

The physical construction of these window values are summarized in the following table.

2-3-glazing triple glazing
U-value 1.1 0.5 W/m2K W/m2K
g-value (light) 36% 31%
g-value (dark) 12% 10%
light transmission (light) 50% 45
% light transmission (dark) 15% 14%

These figures clearly show that in the darkened state much less light and energy comes through the glass.

third Comparison of the energy transmission with normal glasses

Comparing the energy transmittance of electrochromic windows with normal windows, the result (purple: electrochromic windows, blue: normal window), the values shown in the graphic below.

The flux of electrochromic windows in winter compared with the values for normal windows. In summer, the energy transmission is much lower because of the built-in possibility of the shading and the smaller g-value. In order to make these windows a good review for summer heat protection and reducing energy consumption, because to be aired due to the lower summer heat input significantly less needs.



4th Comfort


The above example shows how these electrochromic glasses make the construction. The blue color is typical for electrochromic windows, the shading effect is clear. These windows are good for a shade of indirect sunlight. Less suitable are those windows for direct sunlight. these effects can be compared with the sunglasses, which also offers little protection for direct sun light. For this reason, can not yet dispense with the conventional sun protection, eg with shutters to the electrochromic windows, which of course significant effects on the economy has electrochromic window.

Where To Buy Dressy Jumpsuits

challenge: controlled ventilation in Minergie rehabilitation

Background:

did two months ago I completed a Minergie renovation of a terraced house in the 70s. The building consists of a bottom, an earth- and a penthouse, with about 340 m3 heated volume.

The final acceptance is the builder noted that the air is for the rehabilitation, respectively, since the commissioning of the ventilation become unpleasantly dry and the ventilation noise to the level 2, getting to sleep but also getting used to be.

The phenomenon of the drier air with a controlled ventilation is a known side effect, but are nevertheless checked whether a defect exists or not.

The same goes for the second point of criticism, to the loud air intake noise.

action and learning:

One of the advantages of controlled ventilation is already known, it can be controlled and therefore adjusted.

Although we Lüftungsverteilrohre for the installation of the plastic pipes with a diameter of 90 mm chosen instead of 75 mm, so as to reduce the flow rate, were on the 2nd Fan stage noise is disturbing to hear, above all, of course, to sleep. From the ventilation system (Drexel and Weiss, Aero Silent classic) itself, which was built next to the master bedroom into a closet, thanks to all measures taken, nothing listen. Have proved here that separated the existing floor, the ventilation unit with rubber bases off the ground is not in the mufflers saved was (rectangular silencer 160/200 by Böni + Co AG, instead of the planned Wester Silent round mufflers ø 160 mm). The carpenter from the inside ausgedämte cabinet insulates the already quiet machine even more.

This does show the positive aspects and experiences, but still not solve our problems. The second ventilation stage is asleep to the right in principle because of the increased air needs to be covered. So we thought about either the ventilation performance to reduce the second stage of 160 m3 / h to 140 m3 / h or during the asleep period, the ventilation to remain on level one, at 112 m3 / h and switch after an hour on the higher level.

latter variant has been found after a trial period of one week as the right thing in this case and that because a reduction in the second stage does reduce the noise, but also the increased air requirements fulfilled only to a limited extent. The delayed switching to the second stage, however, has even less noise than the reduced variant asleep during the sensitive and the result will then meet on the night and the increased air requirements.

The second challenge was, or better the air is too dry. Basically, we want to give up an "artificial" or active humidification with a humidifier.

The humidity was measured by the technician on several days and at different times and in the lowest case to 20% relative humidity and set on average at 30% relative humidity.

These values are well known in tolorierbaren area, but if it is unpleasant to the builders have to find a solution yet, of course.

As the house practically all day because all work is empty, of course, missing the biggest "Humidifier" in the house. But now the man to replace (in this case 4 adults) with light activity about 30 - 60g releases of water per hour to the environment, but would have about 8 medium-sized rubber trees or 5 tanks to be brought inside.

Since this non-referred to the builder, we try it now with 3 - 4 pot plants and are in no noticeable improvement, as a next step, the first stage of the air to about 100 m3 / h reduce the air exchange to slow during the day if the house is empty.

whether these measures achieve the desired effect remains to be seen in the near future.

Plans For Locker Storage

future hybrid collector

joined a few weeks ago I happened on a report on a new form of electricity and heat, alone with the help of solar energy, the so-called "hybrid collectors. Up to point I had an ambivalent relationship to solar and photovoltaic systems. They meet a portion of the energy or heat, they are not really beautiful but not really disturbing. According to that report but I was able to inspire a bit and look at the whole thing with different eyes. Solar panels in solar systems had been the disadvantage that either generated energy for heating in thermal solar systems or electricity in photovoltaic panels. The unusual hybrid of the panels is the ability to simultaneously produce electricity and hot water.

How does a hybrid collector?

The sun has a diverse spectrum of light with different wavelengths. To use solar energy fully, the wavelength to 700 nm (visible spectrum) of the photovoltaic cells used for the current. The wavelength of 700 nanometers (not visible spectrum) is therefore used for solar energy for hot water.

The hybrid collector comes from a relatively small area. Current collector amount for a single-family house approx 30m2 (15 for the hybrid collector brings the same performance with only about 20 m2. The system looks at first glance like a normal solar collector. Beneath the surface of silicon elements are appropriate to the will refer to as "wafers". They produce a solar power plant in the electric current. But while the wafer in a conventional solar module very close together, they are the hybrid collector mounted at some distance. Therefore, they cover only half of the collector surface. The second level is a heat absorber. The absorber is made of copper tubing that is connected by a metal foil (dark) and in which circulates a special liquid. The liquid is heated by the sun and can be used for heating. Although the sun does not reach the whole absorber area, because half is covered with silicon panels, the plant produces enough heat. The silicon elements that heat up by the sun rays also give off some heat from the absorber. This creates another benefit: the heating system is more heat available and the heated solar cells are cooled, which seems to improvements in electricity production führt.Die whole thing at first glance not very special because it is the combination actually already exists. The difference is simply that the whole system does not occur in separate form, but as a single Prinziep, which gives the requirements of an independent example of the nuclear system.

What is a collector?

A collector is the visible part of a solar system. It is usually located on a roof and has an area of several square meters. An important Part of the collector is the so-called absorber. A collector is often composed of several elements. An element consists of a frame, with the absorber tube system and a cover made of safety glass to protect the absorber from the elements.

What is a wafer?

The wafer is a thin slice of semiconductor material (eg silicon). Wafers are used as base material for the manufacture of computer chips and solar cells. The crystalline wafers are cut into the rule of semiconductor blocks and are 0.2 to 0.3 millimeters thick.

The bearings including solar thermal, leads the heat from the collector and cools the photovoltaic wafer.

The layer of air between the two systems serves as an insulator. Here that the closed system of air space to use the property as an excellent insulating layer.
efficiency of power generation

• Electricity generation lost with increasing temperature of the cells in effectiveness

• depending on the type of solar cell loss is 0.33% to 0.50% per degree of heating

• The Acts as a solar thermal collector in the cooling, heating stops and increases the effectiveness

What is solar thermal?

The solar thermal energy of solar radiation is utilized. heated at the passive use in architecture, the sun directly without technical equipment, a building, for example, by appropriately oriented windows or through a transparent insulation where can penetrate the sunlight, the outermost layer of insulation and so heats the underlying wall. From active use one speaks, if appropriately designed to collect solar heat absorber areas and this is transported through a medium such as a heat store. In the budget the sun's heat is used mainly for heating water and the air or using the premises. A typical application is the solar collector. Solar thermal applications are more efficient, more is absorbed from the sun and the less of the heat by radiation, heat conduction or heat transfer is lost.

What is photovoltaics?

Photovoltaics is the direct conversion of radiant energy (solar energy) into electrical energy. The PV was used for powering satellites in space using solar cells in use. In modern times it is used for power generation around the world and applies to roofs, walls for sound insulation or in open areas. Photovoltaics is considered part of the field of solar technology that also include other technical uses of solar energy.

The advantages of the Hybrid collector

• production of electricity and heat in a collector

• cooling of the photovoltaic means of heat dissipation by the solar

• Active snow protection defrost

• The system requires less space and installation costs

The disadvantages of the hybrid collector

• short term, high investment costs

• Does not, or not appealing from

• It has no long-term experience (since 2008 on the market)

• weather dependent

Conclusion

The possibility of a single system to generate heat and electricity can I find exemplary. If you look at other alternative energy suppliers, such as wind turbines, the only pure as power generators can be used, the hybrid collector technology as a future-oriented system to . Consider The fact is completely independent of the usual electricity and heat suppliers are impressive and a step to make it worthwhile. As for the aesthetics will change hopefully for some. I believe that many builders and architects in particular some of the look effortless. We will see what the future holds.

There are fitness coaches and nutritionists, the one show that eating habits we can improve and how to integrate sport and physical activity in our everyday stresses. Why is there not also a coach house technology? A coach that shows me where I have plugged in so-called "power hungry", though I often enough air, or show me how I can save heating energy. I have about four years ago from a magazine "Geo compact" and bought it as a exciting articles found. Subject was a so-called "learning house" the house of the future. A central home computer is to remember where you staying in which rooms and how often. He registered the everyday habits and makes this its benefits. The on and off of lights to be registered for several days and can be played in their absence. If a window is opened or unscheduled visit at the door, automatically the live video appears on the screen of the workstation. By phone system can even communicate directly although far away from home. I was wondering when our house is probably as far as technology.

5th Conclusion and learning

If you want to achieve savings in electricity and heating costs, it would be most useful pre-energy total renovation. However, this can be costly. A cheap solution would be a complete pre-programmed automation system, as it offers Adhoc. The question is: would you do so much automatic in his apartment / house? The difference from the conventional to the adaptive system, the user still engage themselves and determine certain control rules even can.

fact that this system offers more comfort, but also a proofreader and coffee for energy saving is, it is suitable for users who like want to actively help save energy. The device is simple to use and you need not to have much background knowledge. I knew that some chores can be automated, such as opening and closing of the shutters. Also simulate the play of presence by a program, the lights on and off is leaves me nothing new, but virtually everything that you can connect with such a system - from oven to the detector, in the absence of a warning sent by SMS- is very impressive. I think that find this system in the future in some apartments and houses will be and that it is with many other everyday things that are wired. for example the fridge tells me what foods and when run at the start of a product gives up an automatic online purchases.
