GET RID OF LOW GRADE HEAT

GET RID OF LOW GRADE HEAT

GET RID OF LOW GRADE HEAT

(OP)
Hi guys,
I am looking for some ideas as a way of taking low-grade heat out of water.
Must be artistic (the kind of stirling engines ...).
Does anybody got any ides?
Thank you

RE: GET RID OF LOW GRADE HEAT

What is "low grade heat"?  Do you mean to lower the average temperature of the liquid or convert the liquid to solid or what?  Why not impose a vacuum on the surface of the water?

RE: GET RID OF LOW GRADE HEAT

Pump the water up through a cooling tower and let it return by gravity.

That is what most of the power plants are doing to get rid of excess heat, particularly if you are talking about a lagoon.
