Geology and drilling methods for ground-source heat pump installations: an introduction for engineers.

Author(s) : ASHRAE, SACHS H. M.

Type of monograph: Book

Summary

Because of low operating and maintenance costs, ground-source heat pump systems are becoming increasingly popular for commercial HVAC systems in offices, schools, health care facilities, stores and factories. Design and installation of ground-source and groundwater-source heat pumps are straightforward engineering exercises. This manual is intended to help the designer understand the driller's tools, techniques and the ground they penetrate. It includes an introduction to geology, hydrogeology, soil development, and other conditions that impact the feasibility and economics of ground-source heat pump system installation.
