Ground Source Heat Pump


 
Comfortably warm:

The TERRA heat pumps heat large areas through various floor or wall heating systems. Rooms are kept comfortably warm at all times, using low temperature heat exchange in large surfaces.

Natural and clean:
These modern heat pumps work on site without emissions. No soot, no smoke, no wood dust can impair the air. If the heat pump is operated using environmentally friendly energy (e.g. hydrogen, photovoltaics), the process of energy acquisition is entirely emissions-free and CO2-neutral.

In this way, we can contribute to a greener planet and natural resources will still be available for us to use in the future.

Extreme savings:
Heat and energy from nature are available to you free of charge – a benefit that really pays off:
4 x environmental energy + 1 x electrical energy = 5 x heat energy

 
         
         
  Heat source soil      
   
         
  A low temperature glycol- water mix circulates through the ground probes up to 100 metres deep. Constant ground temperatures around 19°C ensure enough geothermal heat, no matter what time of the day, no matter what season. The heat is absorbed by the glycol- water mix and transported back to the TERRA heat pump unit, which then stores this heat energy in the HYGIENIK buffer tank.

Heat source water
     
  Water well  

Ground water is pumped from a well via a submersible pump. Heat is extracted and the cooled water returns back to the ground via a discharge well.

Because of its constant temperature, ground water is an ideal source of heat throughout the year and enables the TERRA heat pump to run under highest possible efficiency.

 
  For a heating capacity of 10kW, approximately 1800 litres per hour of ground water is pumped.
         
         
  Heat source air      
  Air- Brine  

A glycol- water mix is circulated through an external air heat exchanger. The air cools down by several degrees, giving off its heat to the glycol mix.

The glycol mix in turn transports the heat to the TERRA heat pump, situated inside the building.

The heat pump absorbs and elevates it to a higher temperature and stores it into the HYGIENIK buffer tank.

Ground Source Heat Pump - Terra








The Terra heat pump from IDM extracts free energy from the soil, ground water or air and delivers heating and hot water to the building. During summer the cycle is reversed, extracting heat from the house and giving it back to the environment.

Ground Source Heat Pump - Terra MAX








IDM Terra MAX heat pumps are the ideal solution for large buildings and have already won over a number of investors. Wherever heating and cooling are required, lower operating costs play an especially important role. And with heating outputs up to 110 kW per unit and up to 550 kW in cascades, the Terra MAX can cope with the requirements of virtually any building.  

 
Terra Heat Pump
     
     
50 to 110 kW heating capacity with one unit  
HGL technology - domestic hot water on demand  
TWIN technology - two independent heat pump circuits  
Up to 65 °C heating water supply temperatures possible  
Heating or cooling with one unit  
   
 

Double the safety:

The IDM Terra MAX heat pump has TWIN technology: two independent heat pump circuits in one unit. This provides safety, a high degree of flexibility, two-stage capacity control with less start-ups under partial load conditions and an extended service life.

Tips

 
For the garden
The area of ground used can be planted without difficulty and the plants can grow undisturbed.  
 
For planning your home
The Terra heat pump is quiet, takes up little space and requires an indoor location to be installed together with its tank, pumps, valves and control equipment.  
 
For heating
The lower the flow pipe temperature, the higher the efficiency of the heat pump. Both floor and wall heating systems are suitable as the flow temperature is low.
When restoring older buildings, it is possible to use heating radiators suitable for low temperature heating.
 
 
For gaining local authority approval
The operation of geothermal energy equipment needs the approval of the local authorities. This should be sought before construction begins.
