Abstract:
A heat source optimization system capable of alternating configurations between an air exchange system and a geothermal system and/or earth loop systems depending on an instantaneous need and/or desire for taking in or discharging heat, while simultaneously remaining operational and without reversing valving or changing the rotational direction of a refrigerant compressor. The system manages refrigerant, and, via a processor and/or controller system, determines where to obtain refrigerant and also the quantity of refrigerant to be obtained. Additionally, the system, via a processor and/or controller system, both determines the optimal location or locations from which to take in heat or to which heat is to be rejected.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for substantially simultaneous heating a first fluid and cooling a second fluid using a primary fluid including use of at least one of an air source and a source of fluid, the method comprising:\n compressing the primary fluid into a substantially heated gaseous state that flows in a first flow direction with a compressor having at least one component rotatable in a first direction; transferring heat from the primary fluid to the first fluid with a first heat exchanger, wherein the first fluid is heated; substantially condensing the primary fluid from the first heat exchanger with a condenser; expanding the primary fluid to a substantially a gaseous state with an expansion device; transferring heat from the second fluid to the primary fluid with a second heat exchanger that receives the primary fluid output from the expansion device, wherein the second fluid is cooled; and while maintaining rotation of the at least one component in the first direction and the first flow direction of the primary fluid and using at least one processor, automatically and in real-time activating at least one controller to supply the first heat exchanger from the calculated most advantageous of the air source and the source of fluid and to supply the second heat exchanger from the calculated most advantageous of the air source and the source of fluid.
