A device for climate control of a building (20), in which flatly formed external temperature elements (5) at least partially cover an outer side of the building (20), wherein the external temperature-control elements (5) are settable to a predefinable temperature value. Furthermore, a temperature-control element (5) and a method for climate control of a building (20) are specified.

The present development is a building air cooling system using cool ground water, e.g. well water. Building air is cooled by coming into direct contact with cool ground water in a compact chamber using PVC packing for maximizing heat transfer efficiency, conserving space and reducing the required ground water pumping power consumption without requiring expensive compression and expansion cycles of the traditional air conditioning systems. If additional cooling is desirable, a second stage traditional air conditioning or heat pump system may also be used.

A heat exchange structure of a power generation facility including a piping system that is embedded in a reinforced concrete underground structure that is integrally formed with the power generation facility, and a heat medium that is fluid and is stored in the piping system. The piping system circulates the heat medium used for heat exchange in the power generation facility.

An industrial installation having a primary supply circuit in which cooling water is conveyed and a consumer to which cooling water from the primary supply circuit is provided and which is connected to the primary supply circuit via a secondary supply circuit. An outward flow line of the secondary supply circuit is connected to an outward flow line of the primary supply circuit, and a return flow line of the secondary supply circuit is connected to a return flow line of the primary supply circuit. The outward flow line of the primary supply circuit is connected to a groundwater delivery line of a spring installation which has a groundwater delivery line through which groundwater can be conveyed from an aquifer and can be fed as cooling water into the outward flow line of the primary supply circuit. Also provided is a method for operating an industrial installation wherein the cooling water that is used is naturally occurring groundwater which is obtained from an aquifer with the aid of a spring installation.

The present disclosure presents an oil storage and energy storage device and method. The device comprises an oil storage system, an energy collection system, an energy storage system, and a heat exchange system. The energy collection system is connected to the heat exchange system, which is in turn connected to both the oil storage system and the energy storage system. Oil input and output pipelines are interconnected within the heat exchange system. As oil from the storage system passes through the heat exchange system, it either absorbs or releases energy, resulting in heating or cooling. The heat exchange system controls the temperature change based on the type of oil and specific requirements. The temperature-adjusted oil is then directed through the oil input and output pipelines, either into storage tanks within the energy storage system or back to the oil storage system for output. The energy absorbed or released by the oil in the conversion system is transferred to a medium within the energy input and output pipelines of the conversion system. This medium is then pumped through these pipelines for user consumption, storage, or release.

An interior space climate control system featuring a temperature differential engine, with the temperature differential engine configured to exploit the temperature differential of at least two sources with different temperatures. The fluids may be used to provide additional benefits to an interior space, such as heating, hot water, cooling, and refrigeration, and unused climate control fluids may in turn be used as sources of fluids with temperature differentials.
