Geothermal heat pumps

In 2017 Ball State University in Indiana shut the last of the four coal-fired boilers that had heated its campus for decades. Munzvimbo yavo yakati 3,600 dzimba dzemvura dzakavhurwa pasi pezvivakwa zvayo uye dzaibatanidza nemagetsi maviri emagetsi kuti aite mapumps emhepo anopisa uye anotonhora nzvimbo yedzidzo. Iyo system yaive nemari inosvika $65 miriyoni, uye iyo university yakazvipira kuderedza mhepo ine simba rekunze neanenge 80,000 tons pagore (Wikipedia, University of Zimbabwe).

A ground-source heat pump haasi chitsva chinobva simba. Icho chiratidzo che multiplier: inoshandisa simba rekufambisa tembiricha yapfuura pasi pevhu kuenda mubhizimisi, uye inopa zviuru zvitatu kusvika makumi mana ezviuru zvemagetsi emagetsi kune chero chigadzirwa chemagetsi chinoshandiswa (IEA, 2022). Icho chikuru, chinovimbika uye chakachena. Iine mari yakawandawo yekuisa, saka iyi peji inotora nguva yakareba pakuongorora mutengo sezvainoita nezve physics.

Maitiro ekushanda

A heat pump inonziwo heat pump yekunze. A kushanda fluid (iyo refrigerant) evaporates pa low temperature muheat exchanger yakabatanidza kune ground loop, kutonhora. Muchina unodziya mvura unomanikidza mvura, izvo zvinowedzera tembiricha yayo. Munguva yekupedzisira inotonhora exchanger ino condenses uye inoburitsa iyo tembiricha mumvura iri kuenda kune radiator. A expansion valve inodzikisa pressure uye chirongwa ichi chinotangazve.

Muzvinabhizimusi. Iyo tembiricha yakapihwa yakaparadzwa nemagetsi anoshandiswa ndiyo coefficient yekuita, COP. The Best chero heat pump anogona kumboita ndeyo Carnot COP:

COP_max = T_hot / (T_hot − T_cold), nemamiriro ekunze muKelvin.

Kuendesa madziro emvura pa 40 °C (313 K) kubva pasi pevhu pa 5 °C (278 K) mushure mekuora kweheat-echanger kunopa 313 / 35 ≈ 8.9. Real michina kusvika zvakapetwa kaviri hafu yeCarnot muenzaniso, saka pamusoro 4.5. Zvimwe zvinhu zviviri zvinotevera zvakananga kubva pa equation:

The lift zvinokosha kupfuura chero chinhu. Every degree pakati pemutengesi uye radiators mari efficiencies. Kuwedzera tembiricha yemvura kubva pa35 °C kusvika pa55 °C kunoderedza COP yedu yakagadzirwa nekushandisa kwevhu kubva pa4.5 kusvika pa3.0. Vakuru radiators kana underfloor heating, izvo kushanda pazvishoma tembiricha, kuita chero heat pump zvakanaka.
The source tembiricha zvinokosha. kunze kwemhepo iri chikafunge chaizvo apo mweya inotonhora inodiwa zvikuru. Pa -7 °C uye 55 °C kubuda, imwe yemhepo-yakabva muyuniti yedu inosvika pa2.3; pasi, pa10 °C, inodarika 3.0 pamwechete nemvura yekubuda. Chii chinonzi chokwadi?

The ground is a slow battery. A few meters down, daily swings vanish; by 10 to 20 m the ground sits close to the local annual average air temperature, and deeper it warms by about 0.025 °C per metre (Wikipedia, Ground source heat pump). Kupisa kunouya kubva kuzuva richipisa pasi pevhu, kwete kubva mumoyo wenyika. A borehole kuti chete nguva dzose anotora mhepo slowly chikafurira rock pamusoro pavo makore, uye a zvakapetwa-packed nzvimbo yeboreholes anogona kupisa nekukurumidza kupfuura nyika inodzosera. Kuisa mhepo kumashure muzhizha, nekudziya zvivakwa, kunochengeta huwandu hwemvura. Izvi ndizvo zvinoita kuti ma network anobatanidzwa ayo anobatanidza heating ne cooling aite basa rakanaka.

The seasonal nhamba. The COP pa spec sheet inoongororwa pamwechete kuedza mamiriro. Chii chinokosha ndechekushanda kwegore negore (SPF): tembiricha inopihwa gore rese ichiparadzwa nemagetsi anoshandiswa, kusanganisira mapumps uye backup heaters. Field bvunzo kuongorora SPF, uye ndiro nguva dzose pasi pelaboratory COP.

Zvirambidzo

Physics. The Carnot limit caps COP yechikwereti rinorema; hapana refrigerant kana compressor anobuda. Real michina vari panenge hafu yacho, uye akanakisa pachinhu chidiki zvakawanda.
Ground capacity. Kana uchiona kuti imwe chete neimwe yacho inogona kuburitsa mawatts mashoma emagetsi, zvichienderana nemvura yemuvhu uye nenzvimbo yekubuda kwemvura, zvinokosha kuziva kuti ndezvipi zvidimbu zvemvura zvinoda kuiswa mumidziyo iyi. Drilling ndiyo yakakura chete mutengo.
Zvigaro uye kuwanikwa. Drilling rigs zvinoda kuwana; yakaoma maguta blocks, zvivakwa zvakanyorwa uye zvidiki zvidimbu zvinogona kunge zvisina nzvimbo yekuchera.
Kuvaka kunaka. A leaky imba nediki radiators inodiwa akakura kubuda tembiricha, iyo inoderedza COP; insulation uye bigger emitters kazhinji vanouya pakutanga.
Kutengesa kwemagetsi. Kubhadharwa kwemagetsi kunoenderana nemari yemagetsi inoparadzanisa nemari yechigadzirwa chinoshandura magetsi. Panzvimbo pemagetsi zvinoda mari yakawanda kupfuura katatu kupfuura gasi per kWh, semuUK, heat pump inodiwa gore COP kusvikira 3 chete kuti aparadzewo pakushandisa mutengo.
Skills. Yakanaka dhizaini uye kumisikidza kuita shanduko huru kune yazvino SPF, uye masimba ekushandisa anowanzoitika mumisika yakawanda.

Chii chinodhura

A heat pump haasi kuburitsa magetsi, saka kuenzaniswa nedu site-wide benchmark (rooftop solar panenge $0.19 pa kWh mu Fan Wall mufananidzo, mukati Lazard’s Gumiguru 2026 renji ye $0.09 to $0.20 yezuva rezuva rakagadzirwa nesimbi) isiri yekubatanidza: heat pump inoshandura kWh yemagetsi ezuva kuita makirowatt emaawa gumi nemaviri esimba. Mukwikwidzi wakananga ndewe gasi, uye chiyero chakanaka ndeche mari ye kWh yemagetsi, kusanganisira kuiswa.

Tinoshandisa UK zviratidzo nekuti ivo vari vekunze uye vatsva: median akaiswa mari kubva Boiler Upgrade Scheme yeJanuary kusvika March 2026 (£ 27,352 yenyika chigadzirwa, £ 13,100 yemhepo chigadzirwa, zvese kusanganisira VAT) (DESNZ); the £7,500 grant; price-cap unit rates for October to December 2026 of 26.32p per kWh of electricity and 7.97p per kWh of gas (_Offset); the Fraunhofer field SPFs; a home using 12,000 kWh of heat a year; and 20 years at a 7% real discount rate, as on our wind page.For the gas boiler we assume £3,000 installed and 90% efficiency.

The table is uncomfortable, and it should be. At UK prices, a ground-source heat pump for a single home costs about twice as much per kWh of heat as gas, even with the grant, almost entirely because of the installation. Kushanda mutengo yakanga iri pasi. Picha inochinja kana:

Electricity ichiri yakachipa kupfuura gasi, semuSweden, Norway neFrance, kana kuti nenguva yekushandiswa kwetariro.
The ground loop inogara kwenguva refu kupfuura 20 makore. Well-yakaiswa boreholes zvinotarisirwa kuti vafa zviuru zveheat pumps; kupararira pamusoro 50 makore kwete 20, yegore mari yeloop inosvika pamusoro kwechipiri.
Mazhinji mabhizimisi anoshandira imwe borefield, kukanda dhizaini, kusimudzira uye drilling mutengo pamusha, uye kubvumira kutonhora kumanikidza recharge pasi.
Zvimwe zvinodiwa ndezvemafuta, LPG kana kutonhora kwemagetsi, izvo zvinoda mari yakawanda kupfuura gasi.
Iyi imba inofanira kutonhora pamwe nekupisa, izvowo zvichaitwa neimwe system asi pasina mari yakawanda.
