Geothermal Heating & Cooling Systems
In recent years, the term geothermal heating has frequently been used to refer to
the heating and cooling that can be achieved through the use of a geothermal
heat pump. This technique is generally for residential use. It involves a refrigerant
liquid being pumped through pipes in the ground, heating the liquid. This liquid
then is brought back into the house, and the heat exchanged. The same technique
is used to cool the house.
Geothermal heat pumps take advantage of the natural constant temperature of the
earth. During winter when the ground temperature is warmer than the air above it,
geothermal heat pumps use the earth’s soil (or groundwater) to recover the earth’s
heat. In contrast, an air-source heat pump will remove heat from the cold outside
air and thus requires more energy.
In the summer months, geothermal heat pumps deliver heat to the same relatively
cool soil (or groundwater) rather than delivering it to the hot outside air. As a
result, the heat is pumped over a smaller temperature difference with a geothermal
heat pump and this leads to higher efficiency and lower energy use.
