The ground-source system heats water up to 110° to 120°F, which can then be topped off by traditional gas or electric water heaters to any desired higher temperature. The unit uses standard heat pump ...

Are heat pumps worth it and should you invest in one for your home? The news is full of opinions and more than a few myths ...

A ground source heat pump produces low-temperature heat, so is best connected to a system that's designed for this, such as underfloor heating. If your existing radiators are small and you're used to ...

Ground Source Geothermal Energy is a highly efficient and renewable heating system, which, despite its 75 year history is actually very rare, and low key. It is based on the dynamics of ...

ASHRAE has announced a newly published book, Geothermal Heating and Cooling: Design of Ground-Source Heat Pump Systems (GSHP). The publication is a complete revision of Ground-Source Heat Pumps: ...

A more detailed look at how some ground-source systems work: cold fluid absorbs some of the heat from the ground, and that low-level heat is transferred to another liquid in a heat exchanger ...

Ground source heat pumps (GSHPs) harness heat stored underground to provide your home with space heating and hot water. They perform the same role as a gas, oil or LPG boiler in a central heating ...

Scientists from China have developed a novel optimization method for medium-depth ground source heat pumps, using an improved chaos particle swarm optimization. They coupled it with either a heat ...

IT HAS been estimated that the global ground source heating market will be worth a £1 billion by 2020, and in line with this forecast, UK agriculture is expanding its use of the technology, as more ...

Getting to the bottom of any ground source heat problems isn't always as difficult as it appears. We explore the most common issues and the likely causes ...
