Ground Floor Heat Pumps

The w series heat pump is a geothermal heat pump which means it harvests its heat from the ground.

Ground floor heat pumps.

A ground source heat pump circulates a mixture of water and antifreeze around a loop of pipe called a ground loop which is buried in your garden. A geothermal heat pump ghp or ground source heat pump gshp is a central heating and or cooling system that transfers heat to or from the ground. A ground loop is plastic piping buried in the earth with a food grade antifreeze solution circulating through it. Hydronic these units are designed for heating and cooling water in applications like radiant floor heating domestic hot water and snow ice melt.

There are two main elements of a ground source heat pump system. Unlike a furnace a heat pump doesn t burn fuel to make heat. Two 25kw ochsner air source heat pumps will provide all the heating and hot water demands for the two new extensions. It uses the earth all the time without any intermittency as a heat source in the winter or a heat sink in the summer.

Sometimes called ground source heat pump systems geothermal systems use a ground loop to tap into ambient below ground heat. Geothermal heat pump systems can also be water source. The ground array which is buried underground. It does this by extracting heat from a geothermal ground loop.

Carrier heat pumps come with a range of specialied features like greenspeed intelligence optimal humidity and temperature control variable speed compressor operation for ultimate quiet and comfort compressor sound blanket and silencer system ii design weatherarmor ultra. This system of fluid filled piping absorbs below ground heat and moves it up to the home s heat pump where it is then transferred indoors to heat the home. A mixture of water and antifreeze or refrigerant is pumped into the ground via the heat pump and the antifreeze mixture is continuously warmed up by the constant temperature of the ground. Carrier heat pumps are some of the most durable environmentally friendly and energy efficient in the hvac industry.

The two heat pumps are installed in cascade coupled to two 1 000 litre buffer tanks one to supply the ufh and the second to supply the hot water via an internal heat exchanger. A heat pump is an hvac product that uses the outside air to efficiently heat your home in the winter and cool it in the summer. The underground heat exchanger. They comprise a series of pipes buried underground which extract this solar energy.

Ground source heat pumps absorb the energy from the sun warming the ground. This energy is then converted into heat for use in the home. Waterfurnace ground source heat pump systems replace the traditional indoor furnace outdoor air conditioning equipment with one single unit.
