39. Ground Source Heat Pumps
• Amplified/ Upgraded - Heat from the Earth!
• Available EVERYWHERE in the UK
• Totally Renewable
• Totally Sustainable
• Replenished naturally via Solar energy
• Proven technology
40. Types of Ground Systems
• Open loop
• Water extracted from ground and
discharged back at second point
• Closed loop
• Water circulated
• Evaporator installed direct in ground,
refrigerant circulated
43. • GSHP providing LPHW at 55oC in place of conventional boiler

Ground Source Heat Pump
with a swimming pool AHU
46. GSHP for Indoor Pool
Water Heating
• Operational heat losses of pool made up from recovered energy
if using heat pump heat recovery AHU
• Only water heat load comes from back wash of filters and
dilution for chemical treatment
• Heat up from cold done rarely
• Cost prohibitive to size GSHP for rapid heat up time.
• Limited usage if installed just for limited pool water heat load
• GSHP combined with other loads e.g. pool hall air heating, main
dwelling space heating would be OK
47. GSHP for Outdoor
Pool
• Summer Season; March - October
• Use Air Source Heat Pump; e.g. Calorex 29 or 31 range
• COP of GSHP fixed at 4
• COP of ASHP variable from 4 when air at 10oC to 6 with
air at 25oC
• Installation cost of ASHP cheaper than GSHP
• Running cost of ASHP cheaper than GSHP
• Conclusion - Install ASHP
48. Funding

209. Ground Source Heat Pumps
• Amplified/ Upgraded - Heat from the Earth!
• Available EVERYWHERE in the UK
• Totally Renewable
• Totally Sustainable
• Replenished naturally via Solar energy
• Proven technology
210. Types of Ground Systems
• Open loop
• Water extracted from ground and
discharged back at second point
• Closed loop
• Water circulated
• Evaporator installed direct in ground,
refrigerant circulated
212. Air & Ground Source Heat Pumps
and swimming pools
Applications
• Indoor pool - supply LPHW to AHU
• Indoor pool – pool water heating
• Outdoor pool – pool water heating
214. • GSHP providing LPHW at 55oC in place of conventional boiler
• Output of LPHW coils reduced, usually flow temperature 80oC.
• 50% of rated output!!
• Need to check changed capacity against building and pool
heat loads
• Calorex are only company that can offer complete 100% heat
pump only solution for an indoor pool
• Good viable solution, particularly off gas network
Ground Source Heat Pump
with a swimming pool AHU
217. GSHP for Indoor Pool
Water Heating
• Operational heat losses of pool made up from recovered energy
if using heat pump heat recovery AHU
• Only water heat load comes from back wash of filters and
dilution for chemical treatment
• Heat up from cold done rarely
• Cost prohibitive to size GSHP for rapid heat up time.
• Limited usage if installed just for limited pool water heat load
• GSHP combined with other loads e.g. pool hall air heating, main
dwelling space heating would be OK
218. GSHP for Outdoor
Pool
• Summer Season; March - October
• Use Air Source Heat Pump; e.g. Calorex 29 or 31 range
• COP of GSHP fixed at 4
• COP of ASHP variable from 4 when air at 10oC to 6 with
air at 25oC
• Installation cost of ASHP cheaper than GSHP
• Running cost of ASHP cheaper than GSHP
• Conclusion - Install ASHP
219. Funding
• Microgeneration Certification scheme - MCS
– Approved product + approved installer
– ASHP £900
– GSHP £1200
• CERT – Energy supplier
• Carbon Trust Loan
– Interest free loan over 4 years
– Payback based on energy saving achieved
220. Summary
• 1kWh of electricity can deliver over 4kWh of renewable
energy from the ground
• Proven technology with case studies to back up
performance
• The lowest running cost system for “off gas” network
areas
• Huge savings on running costs
• Huge savings on CO2 emissions
• Long life, low maintenance, sustainable technology.
221. Summary
• Manufactured in UK by British Company
• Designed specifically for UK Domestic market
• Provides both space and water heating without the
need for supplementary water heating
• Works with under floor heating, radiators or pool units
• Controlled using central heating programmer
• Compatible with both new build and existing homes -
dependent on thermal specification
• Technical & Service support from existing Calorex
field service engineers
229. Horizontal Ground Loop
• Requires more space
• More suited to new build
• Less stable ground
temperature; can be less
efficient
• Cost saving if site
contractor lays the pipes
• 5kW = 2 x 40m trenches at
5m spacing
232. GSHP System Characteristics
• Building - Thermal characteristics and user load
requirements for heating and DHW
• Heat Pump - Output matched to load requirements of
building
• Ground Loop - Designed to provide renewable energy
in line with requirements of the building
load and heat pump
