We are looking to chill large volumes of seawater using chilled air. Does anyone know of an equation that may help us work out how much chilled air would be required to cool the water?
To give you some background to the project, we are an aquaculture facility pumping approx 800L/sec of water throughout the farm. We are trialling the use of compressors and diffusers to increase oxygen levels in the water. However, we would also like to reduce our water temperatures by 1-2C during the middle of summer. One thought was to use chilled air (-20C) instead of ambient air.
Does this sound feasible? Any suggestions?
Cheers,
Ben
