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.

ANCHURI LOKESH 16070125013 ▪ 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 1. Open loop example, most large commercial buildings and schools use ▪ Horizontal loop. vertical loops. These are also used where the soil is too shallow for trenching. Vertical loops also minimize the ▪ Vertical loop. disturbance to existing landscaping. ▪ Lake/pond loop. ▪ Pond closed loops are a special kind of closed loop system. 2.

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,
