Which of the versions will yours be most like, "A" or "B"?...
Yes going with A as I can try it for $100-150. B was going to be 4-500 for the pipe in pipe system.
I wonder how much water I would end up releasing above the thermocline as the bubble tube would effectively become an airlift. Would a short tube be better than a longer one? That's where trapping and separating the air would be key. How would I strip bubbles out of the water?
I am also planning on putting in some static mixers in the vertical tube to increase contact time with the air bubbles and mix the air and water.
