Exactly. He also managed to harvest excess moisture from the air from evaporation and putting it back into the tanks.Interesting idea. So basically he is using the heat generated from dehumidifying the air to heat the water, and if the water is warm enough it heats the air. Seems easy enough, the question is can someone here modify a home dehumidifier to do the same?! Any refrigeration technicians present???
I'd like to see some sort of number/calculations to back that statement up. Obviously it's not going to be worth while for a little old 180g, but if you've got a big indoor pond (especially open topped as in the video) or massive tank heating and dehumidifying costs can be massive.It would take years to recoup the initial cost of setting up the system. It would be cheaper to just heat the room the fish are in.
You also have to have your indoor pond in a well insulated building in order for this system to work.I'd like to see some sort of number/calculations to back that statement up.
