Introduction to Geothermal Systems


Geothermal HVAC and power systems use Earth temperature for heat exchange. While temperature variation occurs in atmosphere, temperatures underground remain constant.

In a geothermal HVAC system, an electrically powered heat pump cycles fluid, usually water or refrigerant, through long loops of underground pipes. It is through this process that heat is transferred from ambient air in the building to the ground and vice versa

GEOTHERMAL HVAC SYSTEMS COOLING & HEATING



During the winter, the heat pump sends fluid through the pipes where the warmer rock, soil, or water underground increases the temperature of the fluid. The warm fluid is then pumped back to the building. A heat exchanger can then transfer the heat from the fluid to the building’s heating system to warm the air.

A desuperheater can be used to increase the temperature of water for use in the building. The process is then repeated, with the cooler fluid being pumped back into the ground to be warmed and then returned to the building for heating.

Reasons for using a ground coupled system.

  • Unlike a standard solar system, the loop operates day or night, rain or shine all year, delivering heat to and from the heat pump.
  • It is cost effective in northern or southern climates.
  • . Because the water circulates through a sealed closed-loop of high strength plastic pipe, it eliminates scaling, corrosion, water shortage, pollution, waste and disposal problems possible in some open well water system
  • Saves up-to 70 % of operating cost compared to conventional HVAC systems
  • ROI is between 2 to 5 years
