Has anyone used natural gas air conditioning? National Grid mentions it on their website. http://www2.nationalgridus.com/pshom...t_ny_kedli.jsp

If you click on Air Conditioner, you can get to this link on how it works.
How Natural Gas Residential Air Conditioning Systems Work

It sounds interesting, but how cool would it really make the room?

The only problem with the theory is that there is going to be alot of condensation. Everything has to be perfect such as supply air temp., room air temp., water temp., etc. to not have condensate. The europeans actually have "radiant" cooling working pretty well right now. But the system controls are really expensive.

I guess it would work like a refrigerator, except how would the cool air actually circulate within a room?

That link does not seem to work. Natural gas air-conditioning is a solution to Long Island's summer electricity demand and can be a cost savings to consumers. Electricity demand reaches peak in the summer due to the abundance of electrical central systems. Switching over to gas reduces demand on the grid. Gas is also lowest in price during the summer and is more efficient.
