A Schematic Diagram Showing How A Simple Household Heat Pump Harnesses Geothermal Energy. Systems that distribute heat using ducted air also contain the air handler duct fan filter refrigerant to air heat exchanger and condensate removal system for air conditioning. Geothermal heat pump systems for heating and cooling are green energy.
A residential heat pump generally is sized from 2 5 tons and will depend on the house square footage location amount of insulation window and many other variables. In summer the geothermal heat pump extracts heat from a building and transfers it to the ground for cooling. How geothermal heat pumps work using a heat exchanger a geothermal heat pump can move heat from one space to another.
In winter the geothermal heat pump takes natural heat from the ground and transfers it to the home or building for.
This is known as the heat demand and is rated in btu or kw and also referred to as tons. Systems that distribute heat using ducted air also contain the air handler duct fan filter refrigerant to air heat exchanger and condensate removal system for air conditioning. It depends on the equipment installed. This animation is meant to convey in simple terms what happens in the operation of a geothermal power plant.
