Thanks for the most efficient and eco friendly for ground source/water source heat pump,
Further, they are ultra quiet as there is not fan available.
Ground source heat pump/water source heat pump get more and more attraction these days.
What’s the difference between ground source heat pump and water source heat pump?
Firstly, let us show you about what’s ground source heat pump and what’s water source heat pump.
Ground source heat pumps use the soil outside as the source for heat capture and as the area where heat is released. At a depth of about six feet under the surface of the ground, temperatures stay relatively consistent at about 45 to 60 degrees all year round. This provides an ongoing source where heat can easily be removed or added with constant reliability and efficiency.
Water source heat pump works in almost exactly the same way, except that the loop pipes are submerged in a body of water at a depth where the water does not freeze in the winter or get too hot in the summer. The refrigerant solution in the loop pipes circulates as normal, but in this case, it picks up or releases heat within the water source. Common water sources are lakes, ponds, aquifers, or wells.
The mainly difference is the heat source and way of installation.
Ground source heat pump need to put the pipe in the deeply ground to get the heat there.
While water source heat pump need to use the well/pond/river water to collect heat there.
Water source heat pumps can be less expensive to install than ground-source models. They do not require the extensive digging and trenching that would otherwise be needed for burying the ground loop. Either a vertical or horizontal installation of loop pipes can be used, depending on the depth and characteristics of the water source. It can be easier to install water-source loop pipes.
However, Y a cooling tower or other additional equipment may be need for the water source heat pump.
