The temperature in the water/antifreeze mixture (= brine);from the ground pipes (1). Brine to be protected against freezing form a freezing point of -20 °C to-18 °C. To exploit the heat energy in the brine, the system uses a heat pump to transfer energyfrom a low temperature in the brine to a higher temperature in the central heating system. Circula-tion pumps (8) maintain flow in both the ground pipe loop (3) and the central heating/floor heatingloop (10).The heat pump consists of an evaporator (4), compressor (5), condenser (6) and an expansionvalve (7). These elements are connected and filled with a refrigerant in a closed cycle in a closedsystem. The antifreeze in the ground source loop is heated by the ground and cooled in the evapo-rator. After the evaporator the refrigerant is compressed in the compressor and the temperatureand pressure of the refrigerant are increased. In the heat exchange process in the condenser, therefrigerant then releases heat energy to the central heating water, and the temperature of the cen-tral heating water rises. After the condenser the refrigerant pressure is reduced in the expansionvalve, and the refrigerant continues into the evaporator where it cools the brine before flowing re-turn into the ground pipe loop (2).An auxiliary heating element (9) is installed in the central heating loop, which can supplement theground source loop in the event of particularly high heating demand. |
