A Heat Pump or as some call it a geothermal heat pump cools the home during the summer and heats during the winter. Though an earth-home retains a natural balance and remains at a stable temperature there are other uses for a heat pump say in a green house. It can also gain its cycling power from a grey water pond .
American Geothermal-Energy efficient heat pumps. They also show you how to pour concrete 365 days a week...outdoors. They call themselves New Kids on the Block and I say hurrah for new ideas.
~Basic Energy Principles-Energy is the driving force for the universe. Energy is a quantitative property of a system which may be kinetic, potential, or other in form. There are many different forms of energy.
Bryant-Heating and cooling. Some very efficient systems.
Canadian Marine Discovery Center-Uses a glycol system with independent valves so each pipe can be shut off if it leaks.
Clean Heat E/The Environmental Magazine - Norwalk,CT,USA ... "The temperature underground is constant [low 40s in the northern US to the low 70s in the South]. If a home needs to be heated in the winter or cooled in ...
Dehumidifier Heat Pipes-Passive humidity reduction with no moving parts, pumps or additional energy input of any kind. Using the proven Dinh® Dehumidifier Heat Pipe™ Principle, the DHP typically precools incoming air by 8 to 13° F instantly, allowing the cooling coil to meet the dewpoint faster and with greater efficiency. Condensate removal by the cooling coil is greatly enhanced, often doubled by the heat pipes.
Earth Cooling Tubes-What they are and problems faced in their use.
Electricity from Geothermal-The heat from the earth's own molten core can be converted into electricity. This core consists primarily of extremely high temperature liquid rock known as magma.
~Fiwihex-Using Fiwihex heat exchanger fans, rooms and working spaces can be cooled with ground water that is only about 3 to 5 degrees cooler than the desired room temperature.
Geothermal ("earth heat") energy has tremendous potential for producing electricity. About 8,000 megawatts (MW) of geothermal electricity are currently produced around the world, including about 2,800 MW of capacity in the United States.
Geothermal Heat Pump Utilization-Includes graphics and stats for all the states.
How a replacement Heating & Air Conditioning System should be Sized-The most common sizing mistake is in over-sizing. This is not only makes the new system cost more to install, but also forces it to operate inefficiently, break down more often, and cost more to operate.
Institute of Applied Sciences-Germany-A different approach to shallow geothermal energy- Underground Thermal Energy Storage (UTES)
IGSHPA-Association that promotes education and communication in the area of geothermal heating.
Kelix Energies-the first heating and cooling system without the use of a compressor.
Natural Resources Canada-Heat Pump-A ground-source heat pump uses the earth or ground water or both as the sources of heat in the winter, and as the "sink" for heat removed from the home in the summer.
Passive Cooling-Article deals with office buildings but raises important questions for cooling your home naturally.
Polar Works-to develop a desiccant-based system that achieves lower air temperatures at higher rates of energy efficiency than other methods on the market. For use with Gas Turbine inlet cooling
Proem Geothermal-services what it sells and sells only what it services. They deal with companies like NextEnergy and ClimateMaster. NextEnergy Solutions is an Ontario based company with the most experienced staff of geothermal experts in the world at its disposal. Alberta, Canada
Research into new heating and cooling Technology-Just as vacuum tubes were reduced to microchips so components once thought impossible to reduce are now on the verge of being so.
~Snow and Ice Storage-Some ice storage barns in Sweden go back centuries. Fascinating use of this natural product in cold climates.
Solar air-conditioning-Explains how the sun can help cool the air and even refrigerate.
Tool Base Services-Included on this page are people who are persuing methods to reuse the heat from showers and dishwashers.
Varidigm-a leading manufacturer of variable speed and combustion controls for HVAC equipment and other applications. Our products enable full modulation of heating and cooling systems.
Water Energy Distributors-This Maine Structure utilized geothermal energy. Provides interesting stats on building in cold climates.
World Energy Council-Underground thermal energy storage-Information on linking two aquifiers-one warm, one cold to transfer energy back and forth.
