Ground Loop, Heat Pump and Domestic Circuit Diagram

A typical installation has three parts and heat transfers from hot to cold within each one:- The Ground Loop, The Ground Source Heat Pump (GSHP) and the Domestic Heating and Hot Water System .

Three basic principals are followed throughout the entire process:-

  • Heat flows from warmer to cooler
  • Compression of gas to liquid releases heat
  • Expansion of liquid to gas causes cooling

Diagram illustrates how heat flows from hot to cold and is both acquired and released.
