Different variants for the energetic use of ambient heat from the ground • Heating of air by leading it through a gravel zone • Groundwater as a heat source • Direct expansion/flat collectors • Glykol- and water- heat pipes • Heat pipes without circulation pumps Quelle: Ehrbar, M. ;Peterlunger, A.: Pumpenlose Erdwärmesonde: Schlussbericht Potenzialabschätzung, Machbarkeitsstudie energetisch und wirtschaftlich, Interstaatliche Hochschule für Technik Buchs, (o.J.)

Groundwater as a heat source • highest COP. • A constant temperature from + 8 °C to + 12 °C • The groundwater is pumped from the delivery well to the heat pump and from there 15 meters to the sink well. Quelle: Ochsner

Direct expansion/flat collectors • refrigerant cycle of the heat pump is used directly • no heat exchangers from brine to R 407C needed • Also no brine cirulating pump is needed • With the brine system the brine circulates • in horizontal collector tubes, or • in trenches Quelle: Ochsner

Benefit of using CO2-tubes Benefit of CO2 as a heat transfer medium • CO2 is non-toxic • not flammable • Greenhouse relevance is neclectable (compared to other refrigerants !) (GWP=1) • Ozon deplating potential (ODP=0) • not water endangering • cheap • no special regulations for its disposal
Benefit of using CO2-tubes Disadvantages of conventional working fluids (Prophylen,- oder Ethylenglykol) • Very exact definition of the glykol concentration • missing addition of inhibitors is resulting in corrosions
Thermodynamic characteristics of CO2- subcritical and transcritical cyclic process • high volumetric cooling capacity (6 – 8 times higher as f.e. R407C, R717) small volumetric flow rates smaller pressure losses smaller tube profiles • low critical temperature 31,1°C, and a high critical pressure 73,8 bar. • Difficult to use within the refrigerant cycle because of flow temp. of >35˚C. • Changing of steam pressure with 1 bar/K. • Pressure of more than 100 bar with flow-temp. of >30˚C

Comparison of CO2 with other refrigerants • Potential to ozon layer destruction and greenhouse effect • Critical temperature and critical pressure
Functionality of CO2- tube • Principle of a heat pipe: • heat pipe transports warmth between heat source and a heat consumer • heat transfer medium is CO2) • The heat transfer medium takes up heat energy – ascends as steam inside the pipe (Thermosyphonprinzip) • delivers the energy in the heat exchanger • condensation of CO2 • CO2 descends Prinzip des Wärmerohres (Vgl.Ochsner)
CO2-tube coupled with as direct expansion heat pump • Refrigerant circulates in the cooling head and evaporates there • highest performance • largest working reliability Kältekreis einer Direkterwärmungs- Wärmepumpe gekoppelt mit einer CO2-Sonde. Ochsner Wärmepumpen GmbH

Advantages of the CO2-tube • Advantages of CO2-as a heat transfer medium • no circulating pumps: higher SPF than conventional earth tubes (conventional pumps have a running capacity of 200 W with SFH ~ 360 kWh 15-20% higher JAZ) • environmental friendlyness: lower CO2-emissions because of higher working reliability by closed cycle without mobile parts • lower investment costs
