Summary

In France, there are in various areas, in the Paris Basin in particular, geothermal layers at low temperature (< 100°C) which can be exploited for space heating and seem to be an interesting resource in the present energy situation. Their exploitation can be improved by the use of heat pumps which can increase their temperature to adjust it's uses and/or to reduce the temperature at which geothermal water is rejected; the choice of gas motor, owing to heat recovery on the discharge gases and the cooling of the motor, results in very high efficiency compared with primary energy. A unit is being set up at Beauvais with geothermal water at 45°C which will be used as a cold source for three gas motor-driven heat pumps for the space heating of 1100 housing units in particular. The commissioning is planned for the first semester of 1983, it will be the first experiment in France of gas motor-driven heat pumps in association with geothermal energy.
