Types of Geothermal Systems
Geothermal Water to Water GSHPs
This system can be used when you have a lake, pond, well, or an adequate
supply of suitable water is available. The heat from that water source will be
collected, concentrated with a heat pump and then applied into your home via
radiant/hydronic floor heating.
Just like the water to water systems, water to air geothermal pool
heating systems are also known either as Open Loop or Closed Loop. The advantage
of an open loop (existing well or lake on the property) versus a closed loop
system (buried pipes) is that with the open loop the upfront investment can be
much less than in a closed loop geothermal system as you have less materials,
less construction, earth excavation and as a result, there are less labor costs.
There is also the option of pond loops. Pond loops can utilize the water
to transfer to and from the pond. A coiled pipe is installed into the pond
which should cover about 1/2 acre. Reduced installation costs and high
performance are characteristics of this type of loop.
You then have the aforementioned "closed" loops. These can be vertical or
horizontal. Vertical loops are primarily used when land area is limited or
ground conditions are not suitable digging horizontal trenches.
the loop is then inserted into the vertical bore hole in the ground that
averages between 150'-300' deep per ton. These holes are then backfilled.
Horizontal loops are primarily used when the soil conditions allow for low cost
excavation. However, they do take up more land area than any other loop
type. Trenches are normally 4'-6' deep with multiple pipe loops placed in
the trenches at different depths.

Geothermal Water to Air GSHPs.
This
system can be used when you have a lake/pond, loop system or
well, or where an adequate supply of suitable water is
available. The heat from that water source will be collected,
concentrated with a heat pump and then applied it on to your
home through an ecologically friendly forced air heating and
cooling system.

Geothermal Water to Air/Water Hybrid units GSHPs.
This combined system can be used when you have a lake/pond,
underground loop
system or well. Also anywhere an adequate supply of suitable water is
available. The heat from that water source will be collected,
concentrated with the heat pump and then applied it on to your
home through an ecologically friendly forced air heating and
cooling system combined with hydronic / radiant floor heating!
