A geothermal system comprises three main parts that facilitate heat transfer: 🌍 Geothermal Collectors and Probes: These are a series of connected pipes installed beneath the building. They circulate a fluid, known as a brine solution, to exchange heat between the building and the earth’s stable temperature. Geothermal collectors are installed horizontally & probes can be installed vertically, depending on space availability and heating/cooling load requirements. 💧 A Heat Distribution System: This system circulates water from the heat pump throughout the building, either through conventional ductwork or hydronic water pipes. 🔥 Geothermal Heat Pumps (GHPs): The heat pump is the core component that connects the geothermal ground pipes to the heat distribution system. Also known as ground source heat pumps (GSHPs), they transfer heat from the ground fluid and process it as heat into the building. Conversely, they can remove heat from the building and transfer it underground. . . .

The suitability of a Geothermal in any given area has several key considerations. The first consideration is whether or not there is enough natural heat below the ground surface to make it worthwhile to drill deep wells and use those wells as the source of heat transfer fluid. The second consideration is how deep below the surface one needs to drill to reach that underground heat source, which can vary greatly depending on where you live and what type of bedrock you have below your property.

Did you know that ground source heat pumps are not just for use in the world of heating and cooling. Using a desuperheater, some GSHPs can save you up to 50% on your water-heating bill by preheating tank water. Some ground source heat pumps even offer demand hot water, providing 100% of your hot water using geothermal technology. #IGSHPA #Desuperheater #PreheatTankWater #NationalGeothermalMonth

Types of Geothermal Heat Pump Systems...2 Open-Loop System This type of system uses well or surface body water as the heat exchange fluid that circulates directly through the GHP system. Once it has circulated through the system, the water returns to the ground through the well, a recharge well, or surface discharge. This option is obviously practical only where there is an adequate supply of relatively clean water, and all local codes and regulations regarding groundwater Hybrid Systems Hybrid systems using several different geothermal resources, or a combination of a geothermal resource with outdoor air (i.e., a cooling tower), are another technology option. Hybrid approaches are particularly effective where cooling needs are significantly larger than heating needs. Where local geology permits, the "standing column well" is another option. In this variation of an open-loop system, one or more deep vertical wells is drilled. Water is drawn from the bottom of a standing column and returned to the top. During periods of peak heating and cooling, the system can bleed a portion of the return water rather than reinjecting it all, causing water inflow to the column from the surrounding aquifer. The bleed cycle cools the column during heat rejection, heats it during heat extraction, and reduces the required bore depth. #energyticslimited #renerableenergy #energyefficiency #energyinnovation #energyindustry #geothermalheatpump #openloopsystem #hybridsystems

We know R744 (CO2) heat pumps are often the best fit for certain large-scale projects. But could direct-expansion (DX) R744 ground-source heat pump systems be the future of residential geothermal heating and cooling? In this episode from Refrigeration Mentor, Vitalis' R744 program manager Parham Eslami Nejad shows how such a system, properly sized, could be the most efficient way to heat and cool residential or light-commerical buildings and provide hot water. By using DX R744 and some novel tech patented by Natural Resources Canada, certain barriers associated with ground-source heat pump (GSHP) systems—such as high initial costs—could be minimized.

When you invest in a geothermal heat pump system, you are investing in your future and in future generations to come. The underground components, the ground loops and heat exchangers, have a lifespan of at least 50 years. The indoor heat pumps last up to 25 years or more, with very little maintenance required. #longlasting #renewableenergy #reducewaste #GHPs #GEO-NII

Mattawan Mechanical Services is a proud installer of geothermal heat pumps, which can reduce energy consumption up to 44%! How does geothermal work? 🌎 Whether it’s a winter cold snap or a summer scorcher, the ground five feet below the surface maintains a 𝘾𝙊𝙉𝙎𝙏𝘼𝙉𝙏 𝙏𝙀𝙈𝙋𝙀𝙍𝘼𝙏𝙐𝙍𝙀 year round. The constant earth temperature is higher than average winter temperatures, and lower than average summer temperatures. Geothermal systems use this difference in temperature to transfer heat between your home and the earth with two key parts: 1️⃣ A heat pump inside your home (usually in place of your traditional system) 2️⃣ Buried pipe systems (called ground loops) to circulate heat transfer fluid The heat pump and circulating fluid continuously transfer heat by drawing heat from your home and transferring it to the ground in the summer and by drawing heat from the ground into your home during the winter months. Have you considered geothermal in your home or business? #MattawanMechanicalServices #MichiganHVAC #MattawanHVAC #MichiganContractors #SouthWestMichigan #KalamazooBusiness

GEOTHERMAL HEAT PUMPS Geothermal heat pumps use the earth's constant temperature to heat and cool buildings. Geothermal heat pumps transfer heat from the ground (or water) into buildings during the winter and reverse the process in the summer. Temperatures at about 10 to 30 feet below the surface remain relatively constant. Geothermal heat pumps take advantage of these constant underground temperatures to efficiently exchange temperatures, heating homes in the winter and cooling homes in the summer. A geothermal heat pump (GHP) system includes: ◼ An underground heat collector: a geothermal heat pump uses the earth as a heat source and sink (thermal storage), using a series of connected pipes buried in the ground near a building ◼ A heat pump: when ambient temperatures are colder than the ground, a geothermal heat pump removes heat from the collector’s fluids, concentrates it, and transfers it to the building. When ambient temperatures are warmer than the ground, the heat pump removes heat from the building and deposits it underground. ◼ A heat distribution subsystem: conventional ductwork is generally used to distribute heated or cooled air from the geothermal heat pump throughout the building. Systems can vary in the type of collector and connections used.
