We install the final 3 tubes for our earth tube air conditioning system and all 3 are going into the same trench for a special reason.

If you ever want more cooling, or some heating, I've used a twin-duct portable AC unit with a earthtubes and it works really well. If you have off-grid solar, between the reduced temperature difference making the compressor use less energy while running, and the runtime cycle, it ended up using 1/3rd the electrical energy as it did just piped to atmosphere.

Hi guys, great video. I am curious and have a few questions about the set-up. Why go with drainage holes instead of a sump? Did you take any precautions other than gravel to prevent dirt infiltration? I believe there will be suction caused by the venturi effect through your drainage holes which will pull dirt in. Why not wrap some sort of geotextile around the pipes? I would also be concerned about the drainage holes ultimately becoming plugged. It would of course take years before that would occur. I am also curious in why you chose for an open system instead of a closed system. Keep up the hard work!

What I am interested in what kind of calculations did you use to determine how much cooling capacity you would get using the total length of tubing you are using? It looks also like your tubes are 7 feet below grade. How did you learn what depth you needed to be most effective in the cooling you are expecting to receive?

You need a T on your water collection. Add a T inline with a 24” down piece and add a threaded cap. It collects the debris that lands on the roof. Makes filtering later much easier and less debris in tanks. And if you screen the dirt you dug out you would have your rock for the trench. Also, you don’t need primer on pvc or ABS pipe when you use red hot. Save that money!

@rickrose2235 20 күн бұрын

I installed a French drain on my property and to keep the holes from being clogged with dirt I wrapped the pipe in water permiable fabric first then covered with gravel. I just got the ideal that a French drain could also be used for cooling (since it is 6 feet underground) in the summertime if you design in a few air passages (this could work).

Very smart doin the glueing in the trench for the reasons you mentioned. Secondly, you are definitely using the best glue, Red Hot, with the primer due to your pipes being larger than 2 inches in diameter. I have only installed sprinkler systems over the last 30 + years and Red Hot is by far the best product. As you already know, saving a few pennies on your glue is not worth it in the long run.

PVC pipes should not be buried with straight gravel. Earth movement will cause the gravel to cut and compromise the pipes. A layer of gravel with 20 inches of sand around the pipes will be a better long-term improvement.

So, from your large (20 x 110) metal roof rain collection, looks like your annual 12 inches of rainfall should give you 15,600 gallons per year just from that source. Then you have several other small sources for utility water that are not included in this calculation. Been thinking though.... truly, the vegetables are the next most important thing (since you have already fabricated a decent main water collection/storage system). My thought is that you will need more water for the vegetables/gardens than for all other water needs combined.

Dude, I've worked on filling drainage trenchs with a wheelbarrow and gravel before and that is backbreaking work. I recently saw a video that will save your body by building a dumping trailer mechiniszm into a trailer like yours for $50 and it does not require lifting the front end of the trailer up. You can find the video on KZfaq entitled "Best DIY Dump Trailer 50$". This trailer uses a heavyduty membrame that you just handcrank. If you make one of these you can just backup the trailer to the ditch and crank out the gravel. Not sure how much weight this kind of setup will actually handle, but I think it would also be possible to connect up a motorized wrench motor to make dumping. easier. Hope this helps....

It will be sucking fresh air from above ground at the far end from their structure. See 23:57 of the video where the pipe of the 1st closed trench at the far end is left above ground. Something like this is used in EarthShip homes. They seem to have gone with the most fresh air with moderate cooling due to length of tube used. Considering the solid earth bag home, I can't fault them for wanting a good supply of fresh air. Sucking in fresh air to their structure from a screened/filtered inlet at least 3 feet above ground with the inlet facing down towards the earth is a tried and true source of air. This air inlet design is used in bunkers.

@@saxonsoldier67 I would build a cob structure to house the inlets, that way air that goes in is already cool, plus you protect the inlet from rain splash and dusty wind.

I did pretty much exactly the same thing except... No holes in the pipe and no gravel. My build site slopes downhill, so my 3 geothermal pipes drain naturally out the intake end. Plus I've added a snorkel for winter when the intake end is burried under deep snow. This 120 foot run of three 4" inch Sewer pipes burried 6 foot down works fantastic... During the hottest summer days. The system brings 62-degree air into the house when the outside temperature is over 100 degrees. Best part is I'm using two 3 watt computer fans to circulate the air. Very little electricity, plenty of cooling...

@JohnGuest45 25 күн бұрын

You should measure the cfm leaving the tubes. I`d be surprised if its more than 30cfm per tube. If its 30 cfm and you have 100F in and 62F out, the ground/mass out to 12" from the tube wall (basically 28" in diameter incl the tube) will increase in temperature by an average of 1.6F per hour. Your outlet temperature wont remain at 62F, it will gradually increase. If you run the fans at night when its cooler and reroute the exits outside the house, you can dump the stored heat and increase the cooling capacity for the following day.

@JohnGuest45 Basically I'm already doing what you recommended. When the weather is hot. I use one of the 3 ducts as a recirculation loop and I choke down the inlet to limit the heat coming into the system. My house is pretty tight with roughly R40 insulation and a ton of thermal mass inside the insulation envelope... Like I mentioned in My original comment. I'm using a pair of computer fans to circulate the air so the air moves through the system pretty slow. I also run the recirculation loop during the winter when the outside air temperature is below freezing. This way I'm not bringing sub zero temperatures into the house that I have to heat. During winter the incoming air is usually closer to 50 degrees. Way better than the 8 to 15 degrees outside during the coldest parts of winter. Again with only a trickle of makeup air being allowed into the system... I've never done the math on this. I'm more of a fly by the seat of my pants engineer. I use the information I find tweeking it to meet my needs and to what make sense. This approach works well for me. I'm 62 and have been using this approach all my life... My failures are rare enough that I keep on doing it because it works and I get good results...

@@Brood_Master The 130ft 4" tube will hold around 11.34 cubic feet of air. It wont take very long for that small volume of air to rise or fall to the ground temperature inside the tube. If you are adding a trickle, you will only get a trickle out. I`m not sure how you can recirculate air through a single tube, i guess you are linking the air intakes of two tubes to create a loop and using the outlets in the house as an intake and outlet. This would make the loop 260ft long, doubling the friction loss which would considerably reduce the output cfm of your fans.

So hoping to see plans you have for your Earthship....😊 Wish you would stack and weigh down the odd pieces of metal roofing, the wind can sail those into the side of your house or car windshield. It happened to me when I was in Arizona.

I put in over 2000 tons of fill and soil in my yard alone. I feel for you

Good progress. Do you plan to be in the house by winter?

She said those pipes would be bringing air into the house. Oh my God that's funny.

Guys 45 yeArs ago I built and designed a passive solar home with an underground heating and cooling system. The system runs for the cost of 2 small intake/entry fans. Why did you make such a long trench? You can install the pipes on 3 levels connected by T’s. Using schedule 40 PVC only!!! Anything less than schedule 40 PVC 4” will NOT WORK!! If I can be of any assistance just ask. Btw, the house still works perfect with all the original fans. 👍 Good luck
