How do
Ground Source Heat Pumps work?
Renowned for our expert Ground Source Heat Pump installations in Norfolk, here at Heat Different we pride ourselves on our high quality installation and maintenance. The process of GSHP installation means that the mechanism is partly underground in the area surrounding your business premises or home.
Natural heat is extracted from the ground, created by solar energy from the sun or rain fall. Pipes full of cold liquid are placed under the ground, known as ground arrays. As heat is naturally drawn from warm to colder areas, the heat from the ground is transferred to the pipes, warming the liquid they contain.
This low grade heat is then passed through an evaporator which heats liquid refrigerant, the liquid refrigerant is then compressed, turning the liquid refrigerant into gas.
Next, this now high grade heat is extracted from the hot gas, and passed into water. This water then feeds into your heating system.
The cooled gas reverts back into a liquid and the cycle begins again!
