Exactly what are Ground Source Heat Pumps?

When you think of Ground Source & Geothermal Heat Pumps, you think about significant ground temperatures that may provide extremely successful performance.

Closed Loop Borehole
Flow/return pipes working down/up in a single borehole to depths of 150m + (several boreholes within a system array).

Horizontal Collector
Pipes under the ground at circa 1200 to 1500mm deep run horizontally, with the vast majority of the thermal collection being solar/surface heat derived mainly because of the shallow collector depth (valuable ground temperature starts off at 15m depth).

Open Loop Borehole
Good levels of Heat Pump performance are accomplished because of the dependable temperatures that can be delivered from aquifer systems.
Here, a flow borehole plus a separate return borehole flow into ground/aquifer water to the Heat Pump.

All 3 systems offer application advantages website to appropriate projects and may be configured as primary ground source collector-driven heat pump systems, or air/ground dual-source systems to scale back civil expenses where expected.
