All are equipped with variable speed drives to modulate flow to campus needs. The actual flow rate for heating is dependent upon outside temperature. Swimming pool and domestic hot water heating impose a small but relatively constant year-round flow requirement. In addition to heating, a portion of the campus is also cooled using the geothermal resource. This is accomplished through the use of an absorption chiller.
All geothermal fluid is disposed of in two injection wells.
