And unusual place to find a need for heating and cooling.
My husband loves watching those shows about searching for gold or diving for treasure.
I have to laugh because it seems that most of the people who venture out on these Expeditions seem a bit crazy.
They spend countless hours out in the scorching Heat or the freezing cold in hopes of finding some treasure that will make them their fortune. In some cases it does work out but in most of them it seems like a hopeless cause. I happened to be in the room the other day when he turned on a program about digging for gold underneath the ocean in Alaska. For the life of me I couldn’t imagine why anyone would want to do this because the water has to be freezing cold all the time. They interviewed a man who had ice on his mustache and I could never imagine anything being worse than that. They asked how the divers could stay underwater for several hours at a time without getting hypothermia and he explained that each of the suits had heated coils that traveled throughout them to keep them warm. He explained that it works similar to a boiler system in your home because the warm water with generated up top and then circulated throughout the divers suit. If that system were to fail the diver could be in serious trouble with in no time. I did find that part of the interview fascinating and never realized that a type of HVAC system would be used in such a way. I still think the people who head out on these expeditions are a bit crazy but at least they have found ways to make themselves comfortable while doing their work.
