Heat Exchange System

摘要

A heat exchange system (20) including a heat pump assembly (22) for controlling an indoor fluid's temperature having a heat exchanger (24) with a heat exchange fluid (26) circulatable therein and one or more elongate pipe bodies (28) defining one or more conduits (30) therein in which a fluid (32) is receivable. The system includes one or more ground loop circuits (38) through which a heat transfer medium (42) is circulated. The ground loop circuit (38) includes one or more pipe portions (46) at least partially engaged with the pipe body (28). The pipe portion (46) is at least partially located proximal to the conduit (30) for heat exchange between the fluid in the conduit and the heat exchange medium in the pipe portion (46), and the pipe portion (46) is at least partially located proximal to the exterior surface (34) for heat exchange between the ground material and the heat exchange medium in the pipe portion (46).
