The formula to calculate the Geothermal Heat Pump Size (H) is:
\[ H = \frac{Q \cdot \Delta T}{E} \]
Where:
A geothermal heat pump, also known as a ground-source heat pump, is a heating and cooling system that transfers heat between the ground and a building. It utilizes the relatively constant temperature of the earth to provide efficient heating in the winter and cooling in the summer. The system consists of a heat pump, an underground loop system, and a distribution system. The heat pump extracts heat from the ground in the winter and transfers it to the building, while in the summer, it extracts heat from the building and transfers it to the ground. Geothermal heat pumps are known for their high efficiency and environmentally friendly operation.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ H = \frac{10 \cdot 20}{4} = 50 \text{ kW} \]
The Geothermal Heat Pump Size (H) is 50 kW.
