CONTROL FOR GEOTHERMAL HEATING SYSTEM

摘要

A geothermal energy transfer system has a heat transfer loop associated with a heat pump and a heat absorption loop to circulate fluid through an energy source, such as the ground or body of water. The loops are connected through a reservoir and each loop has a circulating pump to circulate fluid through respective loops. The flow rates of the pumps are selected to optimise energy transfer in each loops and differences in the flow rates are absorbed in the reservoir.
