I am looking for information and/or references for the power output of
anaerobic compost piles. I am told the temperature in the pile centre is
around 60 degrees C, but I am trying to establish the rate at which this
could be removed without seriouly cooling the pile. I am told there is
definitely excess heat, as in an open compost pile it radiates/convects away.

Any help with this presumably somewhat wierd request would be greatly
appreciated.

Regards,
