    Geothermal Cooling PDF

    This document summarizes geothermal cooling systems. It discusses that geothermal heat pumps transfer thermal energy between a building and the ground, using the ground as a heat source instead of outdoor air. The best suited system depends on climate, soil conditions, available land, and installation costs. There are two main types - open loops that draw water from aquifers or ponds, and closed loops that circulate fluid through pipes buried underground. Geothermal cooling has advantages like energy efficiency, using renewable energy, longer lifespan, and not producing greenhouse gases. Disadvantages include high upfront costs and being location specific.

    ▪ A geothermal heat pump, also known as a ground
    source heat pump (GSHP), works exactly like a normal
    heat pump would, only with one key distinction: Instead
    of moving heat between a building and the outdoor air,
    the energy transfer takes place between a building and
    Introduction a ground source.
    ▪ When cooling is needed, geothermal heat pumps move
    thermal energy (heat), to the thermal heat source (the
    ground).
    ▪ The climate and soil conditions where you live.
    ▪ How much land you have available for drilling and
    Factors for best installation.
    suited system ▪ Local installation costs.
    ▪ Horizontal closed loop installations are generally most cost-
    effective for small installations, particularly for new
    construction where sufficient land area is available. These
    installations involve burying pipe in trenches dug with back-
    Types of cooling systems hoes or chain trenchers, usually in parallel connections
    ▪ Vertical closed loops are preferred in many situations. For

    shallow for trenching. Vertical loops also minimize the

    ▪ Lake/pond loop.
    ▪ Pond closed loops are a special kind of closed loop system.
    2. Closed loop Where there is a pond or stream that is deep enough and with
    enough flow, closed loop coils can be placed on the pond

    bottom. Fluid is pumped just as for a conventional closed
    loop ground system where conditions are suitable.
    ▪ An open loop system draws water in from hot aquifers. It can
    be less expensive than closed loops, but mineral buildups can
    happen.
    Geothermal
    cooling systems
    ▪ Energy-efficient,
    ▪ Use clean & renewable energy,
    ▪ Quieter operation,
    ▪ Longer lifespan,

    Advantages ▪ Do not produce greenhouse gases that can be


    harmful to the atmosphere,
    ▪ More safety,
    ▪ Geothermal cooling pump is also used for
    dehumidification and air purification, improving your
    indoor air quality
    ▪ Surface Instability (Earthquakes),
    ▪ High capital investment,
    Disadvantages ▪ Location Specific,
    ▪ Sustainability Issues.
