peer agreement (net): -1standing column well system/turbulent well Explanation: A Swedish description of the system is found at http://www.svepinfo.se/varmepumpar/berg/: "En bergvärmepump hämtar sin energi från en bergborra. I borran finns en kollektorslang fylld med vätska (ca 70% vatten och ca 30% frysskyddsvätska, vanligtvis etanol). Genom att ”köra runt” vätskan mellan värmepumpen och borrhålet hämtas energi från hålet." Searching on Google for English language analogues turned up "standing column well system", aka "turbulent well". This description appears on Wikipedia at the first link below: "A standing column well system is a specialized type of open loop system. Water is drawn from the bottom of a deep rock well, passed through a heat pump, and returned to the top of the well, where traveling downwards it exchanges heat with the surrounding bedrock." Results from a Google search for "standing column well system" are at the second reference link. Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geothermal_heat_pump Reference: http://tinyurl.com/39uj95v |
