  2. Closed-loop geothermal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closed-loop_geothermal

    Closed-loop geothermal systems (also known as “advanced geothermal systems” or “AGS”) are a type of engineered geothermal energy system containing subsurface working fluid that is heated in a hot rock reservoir without direct contact with rock pores and fractures.: [1] [2] [3] Instead, the subsurface working fluid stays inside a closed loop of deeply buried pipes that conduct Earth’s ...

  3. Downhole heat exchanger - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Downhole_heat_exchanger

    It is used to capture or dissipate heat to or from the ground. DHT's are used for geothermal heating, sometimes with the help of a geothermal heat pump. Downhole heat exchangers, like other use of geothermal energy, have the potential to significantly contribute to the reduction of CO 2 emissions. [2] In northern Europe, DHE are already widely ...

    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.

  7. 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.

  8. Geothermal heating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geothermal_heating

    In 2004 more than half of direct geothermal heat was used for space heating, and a third was used for spas. [1] The remainder was used for a variety of industrial processes, desalination, domestic hot water, and agricultural applications. The cities of Reykjavík and Akureyri pipe hot water from geothermal plants under roads and pavements to ...

    The natural temperature of the earth in a specific location. This temperature will typically be quite stable at a depth of 30' (9 m) and is usually close to the annual average air temperature of the area and is influenced primarily by the average air temperature and secondarily by the thermal energy absorbed from the sun.
