Fluid is pumped just as for a conventional closed loop ground system where conditions are suitable, the economics are very attractive, and no aquatic system impacts have been shown. However, high performance requires the use of experienced professionals who understand local conditions. Contact Ground Loop today to discuss the best system for you. In a refrigerator, heat is moved from the food storage sections and discharged to the kitchen air. The system exchanges heat with the earth, meaning that no noisy or unsightly outdoor unit is needed.
All heat pumps use a vapor compression cycle to transport heat from one location to another.
The refrigerant evaporates into a gas as heat is absorbed. When the refrigerant loses the heat, it changes back to a liquid. The liquid refrigerant cools as it passes through an expansion valve, and the process begins again. Although heat pumps are complex internally, they are marvels of compact design for reliability. Some include features such as additional heat exchangers for water heating, and microprocessor-based automatic controls and protection devices.
