How does a GeoExchange system work?
Throughout the year, outdoor temperatures fluctuate with the changing seasons. However, underground temperatures do not. In fact, about four to six feet below the earth´s surface, temperatures remain relatively constant year-round. A GeoExchange system, which consists of an indoor unit and a buried earth loop, capitalizes on these constant temperatures. In the winter, fluid circulating through the system´s earth loop absorbs stored heat and carries it to the home. The indoor unit compresses the heat to a higher temperature and distributes it throughout the home. In the summer the system reverses, pulling heat from the home, carrying it through the earth loop and depositing it in the cooler earth.
What makes a GeoExchange system different from ordinary systems?
A GeoExchange system uses the energy from the sun which is stored in the earth to heat and cool homes. Typically, electric power is used only to operate the unit´s fan, compressor, and pump. So, unlike ordinary systems,Nudist Camps GeoExchange systems do not burn fossil fuel to generate heat -- they simply transfer heat to and from the earth.
How efficient is a GeoExchange system?
Nudist Pictures
A GeoExchange system is more than three times as efficient as the most efficient conventional system. Because GeoExchange systems do not burn combustible fuel to make heat, they provide three to four Amateur Girlsunits of energy for every one unit used to power the system.
What does GeoExchange mean to the environment?
Because GeoExchange systems work with nature, not against it, they minimize the threats of acid rain, air pollution, and the greenhouse effect. An environmentally friendly fluid is used in the closed, continuous loop.
Do GeoExchange systems require much maintenance?
No. In fact, GeoExchange systems are practically maintenance free. When installed properly, the buried loop will last for generations. And the other half of the operation -- the unit´s fan, compressor, and pump -- is housed indoors, protected from harsh weather conditions. Usually, periodic checks and filter changes are the only required maintenance. Our Forum
