Which geothermal home heating system is ideal to be powered by the air or a ground heat source?
Ideal are under floor heating systems. These systems don’t require a very high temperature, because the heat is equally distributed in the room. Wall mounted radiator heating systems need a much higher temperature, because heat is distributed via a gradient in the room and to be effective at all they need a much higher temperature. Geothermal heat energy might not be sufficient in such a case. How does a geothermal exchange heat pump heat in winter and cool in summer? First look at those simple experiments: • Blow air into a birthday air balloon. After that release the air quickly. While holding the balloon in your hands you realize that its surface is cooling down. The balloon takes or absorbs energy (heat) from its environment (air in the room). • Pump air into a balloon as quickly as you can, putting your hands onto he surface of the balloon. You will feel that its surface is becoming warmer. Compressing air (or gas)results in “superheating” or hot air/gas. This can now transfer hea
