RE: [GBlist] California look to the Ocean! - for District Cooling

["Ted Shelton" <ted655@hotmail.com>]

    Once again----! It is not that easy. It is not that simple. It sounds  
like a good Eco-way to deal with a high energy consumption problem, BUT... 
1. It's not that efficient... 2. It does not deal with the humidity 
factor...3. It creates condensation problems...4. The heat removal, 
disposal, recovery properties of water are not good. Lets add salt to the 
design and open a new can of worms.
     I don't say these problems won't be overcome someday, but right now 
they haunt ahy design I know of.
