Geo-Thermal Air Coil

Abstract

A system designed to harness the natural energy of the sun and earth, by creating an energy exchange between the soil, using air as the medium. The medium, air, is also the desired product in its conditioned form. The energy exchanged in the system is in a harmonious relationship with season soil variation so as to produce constant air temperature regardless of season, or ambient air temperature.

1 . A system, compromising: an air circulating fan; and a geothermal system, using outside air as the medium to transfer energy to the soil, which can produce a constant air temperature output year round, regardless of outside ambient temperature. 
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the energy is not transferred at equal rates within the system 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the energy transfer in the first 40 feet of length in a vertical configuration system, starting below ground level, must occur higher than 20 feet of depth, and have less than 10 feet being strait. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 2 , wherein if additional tubing length is necessary outside of the vertical configuration area for the air intake, that length is not included in the measurements of  claim 2   
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the air circulating fan can be used to push the air from the beginning of the system, or pull the air from the end of the system. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 4 , wherein air can be moved in the system by other methods including a vacuum 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 1 , that energy transferred in a higher location the soil will receive a greater benefit from seasonal soil variation over the course of a year. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 1 , the rate of energy transfer can be increase by disrupting laminar flow, found in strait piping, and that form drag can increase or decrease the rate of energy transfer of the air inside the system. 
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the increase and decrease of air speed moving in the system will increase or decrease the rate of energy transfer. 
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the system seeks to minimize the amount of energy is that is transferred deeper into the ground where benefits of seasonal soil variation are also decreased. 
     
     
         11 . A system compromising of a geo-thermal air coil where is where air leaving the system is used to change the temperature of the air passing through the condensing coils of a heat pump or air conditioner. 
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein lowering the ambient air temperature moving thru the condensing coils on a hot day will increase the units efficiency, and in the same way raising the ambient air temperature moving thru the coils on a cold day will also raise the units efficiency. 
     
     
         13 . A system compromising of a geo-thermal air coil where air leaving the system is used to prevent extreme temperature such as below freezing or triple digit temperatures. 
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 13 , wherein air is blown across a road or runway to keep the temperature above freezing. 
     
     
         15 . The system of  claim 13 , wherein the air is blown along rows of agriculture to prevent crop damage from freezing temperature. 
     
     
         16 . The system of  claim 13  wherein the air is used to cool outdoor areas such as outdoor stadiums or walkways. 
     
     
         17 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the air is used for indoor areas such as homes, businesses, or greenhouses
