This idea is particularly suited for a home when the
nightly temperature is too cold and the daily
temperature is too high. In a simple embodiment, the
system would consist of two radiators, a quantity of
water sufficient to fill one of them, and a pump
between them. The two radiators would
respectively
be located indoors and outdoors, and each would have
atmospheric venting. At night, the indoor radiator
would be empty, and the outdoor radiator would be
full of water. At sunrise, the pump would pump the
water to the indoor radiator, where the cool water
would be used to cool the home. At sunset, the water
would be pumped to the outdoor radiator once again,
where the water is allowed to cool at night for use the
next day.
In a second embodiment, four radiators would be used,
alternating the water between them to keep the house
both cool during the day and warm at night.
