2. Ground source heat pump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_source_heat_pump

   A heat pump in combination with heat and cold storage. A ground source heat pump (also geothermal heat pump) is a heating/cooling system for buildings that use a type of heat pump to transfer heat to or from the ground, taking advantage of the relative constancy of temperatures of the earth through the seasons.

3. Direct exchange geothermal heat pump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_exchange_geothermal...

   DX system being drilled in the 1980s. A direct exchange (DX) geothermal heat pump is a type of ground source heat pump in which refrigerant circulates through copper tubing placed in the ground unlike other ground source heat pumps where refrigerant is restricted to the heat pump itself with a secondary loop in the ground filled with a mixture of water and anti-freeze.

4. Heat pump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_pump

   Air source heat pumps are the most common models, while other types include ground source heat pumps, water source heat pumps and exhaust air heat pumps. [3] Large-scale heat pumps are also used in district heating systems. [4] The efficiency of a heat pump is expressed as a coefficient of performance (COP), or seasonal coefficient of ...

5. Heat pump and refrigeration cycle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_pump_and...

   Thermodynamic heat pump cycles or refrigeration cycles are the conceptual and mathematical models for heat pump, air conditioning and refrigeration systems. [1] A heat pump is a mechanical system that transmits heat from one location (the "source") at a certain temperature to another location (the "sink" or "heat sink") at a higher temperature. [2]

6. Heat recovery ventilation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_recovery_ventilation

   Ground source heat pumps provide a reliable source of consistent thermal energy when buried 10–20 m below the ground surface. The ground temperature is warmer than the ambient air in winter and cooler than the ambient air in summer, providing both a heat source and a heat sink. It was found that in February, the coldest month in the climate ...

7. Geothermal heating - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geothermal_heating

   Heat can be extracted from any source, no matter how cold, but a warmer source allows higher efficiency. A ground-source heat pump uses the shallow ground or ground water (typically starting at 10–12 °C or 50–54 °F) as a source of heat, thus taking advantage of its seasonally moderate temperatures. [15] In contrast, an air source heat ...
