Abstract: A heat pump, heat pump exchanger component, and method of using a heat exchanger, the heat pump exchanger has long pipes arranged in at least one layer in fluid communication with one another, and spaced a minimum of about two (2) feet apart. Shorter pipes may be disposed between long pipes. A cylindrical HDPE insert is placed between adjacent pipes to permit socket or butt fusing. The long pipes are composed of high thermal conductive materials, such as aluminum, while the short pipes and/or connectors may be composed of flexible lower thermal conductive materials.

Abstract: An improved apparatus and method for stabilizing a portable ladder is provided by this invention. The use of through rung functionality of a portable ladder securing device reduces the probability of a person climbing the portable ladder falling from the portable ladder or a person on the ground from being struck by an object falling from a portable ladder. The apparatus and method include the use of stabilizing arms that are attached to the portable ladder either by a brace or a through-rung component. Furthermore, the apparatus and method include a second section for securing the stabilizing arms either to a nearby stable structure or to an integrated ground spike component. The stabilizing arms are adjustable in length allowing for the proper use of the portable ladder stabilizing apparatus in a greater amount of environmental conditions.
