A cold storage facility energy transfer system has a building which includes walls, a roof, and a floor. The building defines an enclosed space, which is to be cooled. A cooling system, which includes a compressor, a condenser, and an evaporator, is provided to cool the air within the enclosed space of the building. A ground water heat transfer mechanism reduces the operating temperature of the cooling system and raises the temperature of the building floor. A heat exchange mechanism draws heat from the compressor and the condenser to reduce operating temperature of the condenser and/or compressor. The heat exchange mechanism includes a mechanism associated with an area adjacent to the building floor for maintaining that area at a temperature so that underfloor icing is prohibited. An additional objective of the system reduces the temperature of the walls and roof of the building, reducing heat loss and improving the energy efficiency of the building.

An energy transfer system is provided for a household or commercial refrigeration appliance. The energy transfer system includes a fluid passage disposed in the housing of the appliance for enabling the transfer of a fluid into, through, and out of the housing. The fluid is circulated through a heat exchanger which can be disposed outside of a home or commercial building or underground so that the fluid is cooled by the outside air or by the ground. The cooling fluid is also utilized to cool the compressor of an air conditioning unit. A heat exchanger is also utilized for transferring heat from the cooling fluid to an interior of a building.
