Heat pumps - Geothermal System - Explanation of the principle
Nature provides numerous inexhaustible energy reservoirs that are constantly being renewed by natural limitless sources such as the sun, water, and the earth.
These sources are not only inexhaustible, but their constant renewal is part of a natural process that does not harm the environment. Accordingly, they offer the possibility of using energy that is natural, ecological and free.
The ground stores the energy emitted by the sun’s rays in the form of heat.
A ground source heat pump works by capturing this heat contained in the ground and converting it to a usable form. It is then transmitted to your home via a hydraulic system (underfloor heating, radiators, fan coil units, etc.).
Depending on the size of the lot available for the ground loop system, two techniques are possible:
Horizontal ground loop
This is the least expensive and easiest technique. The surface area of the ground loop system depends on the type of soil, the climate conditions and the energy needed to heat your home. You can capture up to 40 watts per sq. metre.
Vertical ground loop
This technique is used when the lot is too small or difficult to drill. The loops can descend up to 100 m, and several can be places side by side. You can capture up to 60 watts per sq. metre.
Alternatively
You can also capture heat from an aquifer. An aquifer remains at a constant temperature in all types of weather, resulting in a high COP.
