Canadian well - a great opportunity to reduce the cost of heating homes

For some reason it is widely believed that the use of geothermal resources - this is not for the Russian conditions. Far from it. The proof is a Canadian well, sometimes referred to as olive, equip you with a great advantage for themselves can, in many regions of our mills. And the price of this installation, as you will see later, is acceptable to the majority of Russians.

What is a Canadian well, her dignity and principle of operation

In several Canadian wells includes a set of pipes under the ground outside the perimeter of the house, but connected to its interior volume.

A system using the thermal inertia of the ground and allows to adjust the internal temperature of the house, it is characterized by the following important advantages:

• great affordability, which applies to both the cost of the required materials and the cost of work on its installation;
• ability to function completely without power consumption;
• efficiency and environmental friendliness.

The system's operating principle is the fact that the temperature underground remains practically constant stable, regardless of the season. In the summer it is lower than in the house. In winter it is higher due to the heat accumulated during the summer. Located underground heat exchanger allows heating the air in winter and cooling in summer. And all this happens without electricity consumption.

Another possibility to save on heating is the production of heat accumulator. To learn how it works and how to make it, we told you here in this article.

It should be understood that the Canadian wells installed more economically if it is carried out simultaneously with the construction of the house. Stacking of such a system in a completely finished home can be quite expensive.

In addition, thinking about the installation of such a system, it is advisable to pre-determine the type soil at the site where it is planned to build, prioritizing its thermal conductivity. It is this parameter will indicate how high the level of thermal inertia, ensuring the efficiency of the Canadian wells.

Measurements made on the existing systems have shown the following:

• in winter when the outside temperature of -5 ° C air entering through the system inside the house is warmed to 10 ° C, e.g. as much as 15 °;
• summer when the outside temperature + 30 ° C air may be cooled to + 12 ° C, e.g. at 18 °.

Materials needed for the arrangement of a Canadian well, basic specifications and price

We managed to find those technical specifications that must be followed in the regeneration system for service buildings with a total area of ​​120 m2. Their main provisions are as follows:

• laying system requires smooth polyethylene tubes 20 cm in diameter;
• the ideal length of the heat exchanger is 50 m, and it must be recessed by 1.5-2 m;
• the height of the air intake must be equal to 1.2-1.5 m;
• for greater system efficiency can be equipped with forced ventilation that provides airflow rate is not more than 5 m / sec;
• at the entrance to the house must be siphon guaranteeing condensate outlet;
• forming the pipe system must be regularly cleaned, eliminating the probability of proliferation of pathogens.

If Canadian wells settling on its own, then it will result in approximately the following amounts:

• earthworks if implemented simultaneously with the construction of houses - 15 thousand. rub.;
• value heat collector tube - 22.5 thousand. rub.;
• ventilation equipment - 11.2 thousand. rub.;
• connecting pipes and pipe intrahouse wiring - 11.2 thousand. rub.

Thus, the overall cost of the system improvement will be about 60 thousand. rubles.

Material prepared by us is not a full-fledged technical and financial rationale for such an arrangement air conditioning system for your home. We only hope that reading this article will make you think about the merits of that characterized by a Canadian well, and figure out how it meets your needs and opportunities.

Very important! Read a must!

Today, on the 73rd anniversary of the Great Victory, wish to express our veterans gave their lives to defend the independence of our and brought the country to get rid of the brown plague many European nations, our sincere thanks and appreciation. We wholeheartedly hope that they won back the peaceful sky will remain clear over our country, that the flame of a new world war never darkened our planet.

Congratulations on Victory Russians!
