1. Water or a refrigerant moves through a loop of pipes. 2. When the weather is cold, the water or refrigerant heats up as it travels through the part of the loop that's buried underground. 3. Once it gets back above ground, the warmed water or refrigerant transfers heat into the building. 4. The water or refrigerant cools down after its heat is transferred. It is pumped back underground where it heats up once more, starting the process again. 5. On a hot day, the system can run in reverse. The water or refrigerant cools the building and then is pumped underground where extra heat is transferred to the ground around the pipes. 12.13.2017 02.02.2019 GeoThermal System 31 31 BLPC + PFRC HPOK
