lake water heat pump Explanation: This is inland, not from the ocean. From the first link below: "Bor du nära vatten kan denna form av värmepump vara möjlig. Sjövärmepumpen hämtar nämligen värmen från en sjö eller vattendrag där solens värme lagrats. Från en *kollektor som är ankrad på sjöbotten kan sedan värmepumpen ta hand om värmeenergin och sprida den i fastigheten via det vattenburna systemet och till tappvarmvattnet." Second link is examples of "lake water heat pump", including one with the same general description of the mechanism. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2010-08-02 17:29:16 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Sorry, I probably assumed too much from your reference to wave power. It got me thinking of such systems that are found in the ocean. Reference: http://www.tesab.se/extra/pod/?id=96&module_instance=1&actio... Reference: http://tinyurl.com/336j4u9 |
