Geothermal Heat Pump System Designs
All summer the sun’s warmth is absorbed by the soil surrounding buildings. Geothermal heat pump systems can harvest this energy during the following winter to provide comfort in both residential and commercial buildings. They can also provide cooling during summer. This full day seminar covers the fundamentals of geothermal heat pump technology. It discusses water-to-air, water-to-water, and direct expansion heat pumps, and shows several ways to apply them in both forced air and hydronic applications. It also covers design of both horizontal and vertical geothermal loop systems. State of the art technology for minimizing parasitic operating cost in geothermal systems also is presented.
