Out of curiousity, what is the average temperature range there ?
And it is curiousity because it only affects certain things. The optimum size of the condensing vessel is of course; as large as is practical.
Actually it doesn't seem so on the surface of this, but being in an area where it is easy to dissipate heat all that time is advantageous in that you only have to optimize it for one "direction". Here in Ohio we seem to have the worst of both worlds. This because [delta] thermal energy is what produces power. Here, the process would have to reverse, actually more than twice a year.
(On a side note, I would really like to fix this OS so I can use scientific symbols easily, like delta, omega, foreign currency symbols etc. without resorting to character map. Like mathematicians and scientists, I am lazy. I know a few of the Alt+0XXX codes like ¼, ½, ¾ and ¿, but I am too lazy to go through all 10,000 of them.)
The [delta] factor is at the root of anything. Electrical charge as well as making money - to wit : buy low sell high. When you strip away terminology, it makes sense. Terminology screws it all up. Like the term "swamp cooler" used for evaporative air conditioning. It's not going to work well in 99% relative humidity. It should be called a desert cooler. However that is screwed up as well, because the polar regions are largely scientifically classified as deserts. Go figure.
