Vocabulary
• Ground Source, Geo-Exchange, Ground Coupled – A heating and cooling system that uses the ground as a moderator. The ground acts as a heat sink for heating and cooling energy.
• Geothermal – A heating system that typically uses “hot rocks” or a high temperature aquifer for direct heating or energy production.
• Central Plant – A heating and/or cooling system where multiple facilities are tied together such that the single plant can produce the necessary energy or resource.

Vocabulary
• Well – A water-producing bore typically with a submersible pump.
• Bore – An approximately 15 cm (6 in.) hole drilled into the geological formation.
• Borehole, U-loop Heat Exchanger, etc. – A typically vertical u-loop pipe (or ground probe) placed into a bore and grouted into position.
• Bore Field – Accumulation bores designed to be connected with header piping to support a ground source heating and cooling system.

Water Source Heat Pumps (Self-Contained Approach)
• Many consider: Traditional Equipment • Horizontal Units • Vertical Units • Water to Water • Console Units

Water Source HP’s, Traditionally
– “100’s of noisy boxes” above the ceiling – “Require” cooling towers or boilers “to work right” – 2-pipe controlled water distribution
• Water flow control • Motorized isolation valves • Variable speed drives
– Have maintenance issues • Low flow at the end of the distribution • Low temp difference

New Paradigm • Many different heat pump systems
• When properly designed and implemented, ground loops can provide all system heat rejection and heat addition
• Water distribution – Traditional 2-pipe variable capacity – Individual circulations – Circulators with central pumps – One pipe
• Lower maintenance costs – Simpler distribution – Managing flow to the units

Improving System Design: Simplicity

Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler. ~Albert Einstein

Why Simple?
• Complexity adds $; does it add value?
– How many control points do we need? – Does variable speed pumping add enough
value? – Do we require digital control?
• Why ask the question – It’s $ – Maintenance – Operation – Installation

Selecting Operating Temperatures • A good starting point
– Undisturbed ground temp • Cooling 10-20ºC (20-35ºF) Above • Heating 5-10ºC (10-15ºF) Below
• Generally, max cooling inlet temps should be below 32.2ºC (90ºF)
• Generally, min heating above 0ºC (Use 7-8ºC to start)
• Final selection based on energy balance • It’s ALL about SYSTEM EER and COP

rating? – What is the pumping energy based upon?
• What are the entering water and air conditions?

Some manufacturer’s programs properly adjust the capacity based on your operating conditions, some do not. The point is, capacity adjustment is required to properly select the required equipment.

Attribute
One-pipe loop allows heat pumps to recover energy from the other units in the system.
Cooling units add heat to the loop, heating units extract heat…
It doesn’t take VRF to have heat recovery.

Lessons Learned • Pumping energy use is not an insignificant
issue. • Decoupling bore field and using
temperature differential to control bore field capacity offers significant benefits.
• Minimizing head on unit circulators is beneficial.
• Low efficiency circulators can provide high efficiency.
