Cooling the tank

[Seawater]

We need some form of cooling for our tank and MH for some, is there a way to convert the energy from MH to produce the cooling effect for the water? Read sometime ago there was this company that convert heat from cooling tower to heat up hot water in hotels and save them Millions in power bills. Its just logical. One produce heat and one required heat. Can it be done the other way like our tanks?

Both produce heat.

in order to cool, you must loss heat energy in some way

Dont think theres anyway to reuse the heat. But there is one think I can think of that might help a bit, use solar panels and connect it to a DC fan to blow across the water or the light. If your solar cell are good quality ones, should give you some cooling. But probably not very much lor.

Huh this example is heat from the cooling tower heat up water what... not heat from the cooling tower made to cool water, it's a whole different ball game...

In order for heat generated to be converted into electrical energy you will need a peltier cooler... when there's a large difference between the two faces of the semiconductor, electricity will be produced... but definitely not enough to cool the tank in anyway...

Of course if you have enough heat you can boil water, cause a turbine to spin and generate electricity.. but that is of course more for power plants...

Even the solar powered fans are pretty weak compared to normal AC or even DC fans...

I like the turbine idea. Time to get rid of my steam piston engine.
