Geothermics - Black Gold For Everybody!
Geothermics - the gold mine, which everybody has at home. Why do closed geothermal systems (geothermal probes) have clear advantages and should be in the first place when selecting heat pump system...
Geothermal power
Geothermal power (from the Greek roots geo, meaning earth, and thermos, meaning heat) is power extracted from heat stored in the earth. This geothermal energy originates from the original formation...
Resources Geothermal Power
The heat content of the earth is 1031 Joules, enough to theoretically satisfy global energy demand for 10 billion years. This heat naturally flows up to the surface by conduction at a rate of 45 TW...
History Geothermal Power
Hot springs have been used for bathing at least since paleolithic times. The oldest known spa is a stone pool on Lisan mountain built in the Qin dynasty in the 3rd century BC, at the same site wher...
Geothermal heat pump
A geothermal heat pump system is a central heating and/ or air conditioning system that actively pumps heat to or from the shallow ground. It uses the earth as either a source of heat in the winter...
Ground heat exchanger concepts
Heat pumps provide wintertime heating by extracting heat from a source and exhausting it to the building. In theory, heat can be extracted from any source, no matter how cold, but a warmer source a...
Heat pump - building distribution
The heat pump is the central unit that becomes the heating and cooling plant for the building. Some models may cover space heating, space cooling, (space heating via conditioned air, hydronic syste...
Heat Pump - Thermal efficiency
The net thermal efficiency of a heat pump should take into account the efficiency of electricity generation and transmission, typically about 40%. Since a heat pump takes heat from the ground, the ...
