Water Spraying Trial Somerleyton


Recommended Posts

I'm sure B2P will have a reason why this won't work but here goes anyway.......

How about a narrow rectangular tank clamped (like a NB skin tank) to the side of the rails with water flowing through cooled by the river via heat exchanger? The heat exchanger doesn't need to be any more technical that a coil of plastic pipe in the river ( like ground source heat pump), no salt water goes near the bridge as it would be a closed system with anti freeze mix, and it would only take a fairly low power pump to circulate it.

Boaters happy

Bridge happy

Low cost

I don't suppose there's any way the inside of the rail could be used like that but why not the outside?

Blindingly obvious!
