Personally I would have no problem to have that stuff in the basement, whilst having it circulating in pipes just under the floor (you know, the heated kind, where likely you go around barefooted) might be an issue. Also, consider how on multi-storey houses the ceiling is nothing but the underside of the upper floor. ;)
- geon 10y agoI dont think the lye itself is supposed to circulate in the floor/radiators. There would be a heat exchanger.
- jaclaz 10y agoSure, I do hope that those scientists are not totally irresponsible. Still another heat exchanger will further lower the efficiency of the system. In my experience (maybe a tad bit dated) common heat exchangers (water/water) are difficult to maintain as - generally speaking - the most efficient ones have smaller passages for the liquid and they tend to become clogged and it is "normal" to clean them periodically. I have no idea how large must be a heat exchanger (where one of the fluids is lye) to be efficient enough, considering also that the temperature is relatively low, but most probably it won't be exactly "compact".
