Ground Water (Open-Loop) Equipment Details
An open-loop, ground-water heat pump, uses a surface or underground water
source (such as a lake, river, or well) as the heat source and sink. Well water designs are the most common and
seem to be the most cost effective. The well supplies both domestic water and
water for the heat pump. Approximately 1.5 to 3 gallons per minute of well water are
needed per ton of cooling capacity.
