Why ? - Do the numbers…
50kW heat pumpCOP ? ~4Electrical input = 50/4 = 12.5 kW
Pump power 11kW !!Effective COP = 50/(12.5+11) = 2.12 !!
(that’s the first bit of bad news)
![Page 7: Design of closed loop borehole systems -(Part 2€¦ · -Show basic GSHP hydraulic design approach-Audience (Closed loop) Ground source “hydraulics” -the issue The forgotten bit…](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042411/5f28bdbc16c59904ec3287ce/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
The real bad news?
There’s nothing anyone can do about it.
![Page 8: Design of closed loop borehole systems -(Part 2€¦ · -Show basic GSHP hydraulic design approach-Audience (Closed loop) Ground source “hydraulics” -the issue The forgotten bit…](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042411/5f28bdbc16c59904ec3287ce/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Simple example -(of getting it wrong)
12 kW heat pump
Flow rate = 0.6 l/s
Told manufacturer = 3 x 60 metre boreholes in 32mm
Pressure drop per hole = ~15kPa (Re ~ 3200)
Pump selection = ~ Wilo 30/7
![Page 9: Design of closed loop borehole systems -(Part 2€¦ · -Show basic GSHP hydraulic design approach-Audience (Closed loop) Ground source “hydraulics” -the issue The forgotten bit…](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042411/5f28bdbc16c59904ec3287ce/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Simple example -(of getting it wrong)12 kW heat pump
Clever driller - decides on 1 hole.
180m of 40mm !!
Pressure drop now: ~120kPa (Re ~ 8000)
Pump size - off the graph > Parasitic power = huge!

Other warning signs
“We only use 40mm U-tubes…….”
“GSHP boreholes are always 100m deep……”

Heat transfer improves
but……
Pump power also goes up

eg 200m or 300 metre long runs. = Large, costly, pipe installs.
Does the plant room really have to be this far away ?
Remember - we are installing for 50 - 100 years.
Pumps will be running 2000 to 4000 hours per annum - for 50 years +
Once the ground array is installed - it is IRREVERSIBLE !

Don’t blow it on the Manifolds
uUse properly designed low pressure drop GSHP manifolds
uNot underfloor heating assemblies!!

Variable speed pumps
and
high efficiency pumps

Variable speed pumps
Beware new pumps withautomatic speed controlbased on reducing flow as pressureIncreases.
Opposite of what is required for ground loop!

Miracle Nano-Fluids ?
Avoid on ground loops –
(salesmen don’t get it)
