Water tank for use with a solar air conditioning system

Abstract

A water tank for use in air-conditioning and/or heating systems and includes a container capable of storing at least one thousand gallons of a fluid. An evaporator coil is disposed within the container and the fluid contained within the container. The evaporator can consist as part of a refrigerant circuit. A pickup radiator coil is also disposed within the container and fluid. The pickup radiator coil can consist as part of a chilled water air conditioning water system for a dwelling. The water tank can be insulated. The fluid stored within said container can be a mixture of water and anti-freeze.

1 . A water tank for use in air-conditioning or heating system, comprising:
 a container storing at least one thousand gallons of a fluid;   an evaporator coil disposed within the container and fluid, said evaporator consisting as part of a refrigerant circuit; and   a pickup radiator coil disposed within the container and fluid, said pickup radiator coil consisting as part of a chilled water air conditioning water system for a dwelling.   
     
     
         2 . The water tank of  claim 1  wherein said container is insulated. 
     
     
         3 . The water tank of  claim 1  wherein said fluid stored within said container is a mixture of water and anti-freeze. 
     
     
         4 . The water tank of  claim 2 , wherein said container is insulated by burying the container beneath ground level. 
     
     
         5 . The water tank of  claim 1  wherein said container is greater in height than width. 
     
     
         6 . The water tank of  claim 1  wherein said container storing about 2000 gallons of fluid. 
     
     
         7 . A water tank for use in air-conditioning or heating system, comprising:
 an insulated container storing at least one thousand gallons of a fluid comprised of a mixture of water and anti-freeze, said container greater in height than width;   an evaporator coil disposed within the container and fluid, said evaporator consisting as part of a refrigerant circuit; and   a pickup radiator coil disposed within the container and fluid, said pickup radiator coil consisting as part of a chilled water air conditioning water system for a dwelling.   
     
     
         8 . The water tank of  claim 7 , wherein said container is insulated by burying the container beneath ground level. 
     
     
         9 . The water tank of  claim 1  wherein said container storing about 2000 gallons of the fluid. 
     
     
         10 . A water tank for use in air-conditioning or heating system, comprising:
 a container storing about two thousand gallons of a fluid comprised of a mixture of water and anti-freeze, said container greater in height than width, said container buried beneath ground level for insulating purposes;   an evaporator coil disposed within the container and fluid, said evaporator consisting as part of a refrigerant circuit; and   a pickup radiator coil disposed within the container and fluid, said pickup radiator coil consisting as part of a chilled water air conditioning water system for a dwelling.
