- TL;DR Summary
- Heating/cooling moon tunnels, why and how?
Read a story in the Analog, April 1990, issue.
The author describes a cooling system for moon tunnels using water that is cooled via large fins on the surface.
An explanation is given that rock is a poor conductor of heat and eventually equalizes. And therefore the need for cooling.
Why would it not be better to use heat-pump tech?
How deep does the heat/cold penetrate the moon?
What is the temp below that?
