Why Bother?

• Can be powered with renewable energy• Owners desire for all renewable heat

with no combustion

Page 18: Ground Source Heat Pumps – Design for Performance...ELT EST, F LLT COP kW LST kW kW kW COP 80 30 87 4.1 2.1 24 interpolated 45 89 5.1 2.1 38 0.50 0.3 2.9 3.6 50 90 5.4 2.1 42 100

Why Bother?

• “Renewable earth energy”?• “Free Energy”? From a recent

broadcast email:– Heat Your Home Without A

Furnace, Or Heating Bill

Why Bother?

• “Renewable earth energy”?• NO. Just a more efficient way to use

electricity.

What makes me nervous?• Dearth of data --

Inflated claims?• Electronics – need

surge protection• Requires engineering• Industry not mature –

interactions of trades • Complexity -

mysterious glitches

Page 26: Ground Source Heat Pumps – Design for Performance...ELT EST, F LLT COP kW LST kW kW kW COP 80 30 87 4.1 2.1 24 interpolated 45 89 5.1 2.1 38 0.50 0.3 2.9 3.6 50 90 5.4 2.1 42 100

What makes me nervous

• Installations in high load houses• Utility peak electric load implications• Water-to-air systems

– high volume/low temperature air– back-up use – resistance heating– retrofit situations

Page 28: Ground Source Heat Pumps – Design for Performance...ELT EST, F LLT COP kW LST kW kW kW COP 80 30 87 4.1 2.1 24 interpolated 45 89 5.1 2.1 38 0.50 0.3 2.9 3.6 50 90 5.4 2.1 42 100

What makes me happy

• Systems working in five houses in Vermont, running on partial or all renewable energy!

Design for Performance –Devil is in the Details

• Low water temperature delivered from GSHP – 120F to 130F (?)

• Design houses for lower water temp: These super-insulated houses designed for 100F peak temp water in radiant slab -- increases COP of heat pump.

Page 33: Ground Source Heat Pumps – Design for Performance...ELT EST, F LLT COP kW LST kW kW kW COP 80 30 87 4.1 2.1 24 interpolated 45 89 5.1 2.1 38 0.50 0.3 2.9 3.6 50 90 5.4 2.1 42 100

Design for Performance –Devil is in the Details

• Well water temperatures – mid to low 40’s F in Vermont

• High source and load flows required with low source and “high” load temperatures

• Watts everywhere!– Well pump – 1500 watts full speed/ 500 to

600+ at reduced speed with VFD

• Reduce house loads significantly!

• Design for low output temperatures

• Lower pump energy by reducing friction

• Lower other electric “parasitic” energy

• Use realistic COP’s in design

• Simpler = more reliable!
