The geothermal heat pump uses the basic refrigeration cycle to extract and transfer heat. It mainly consists if a heat pump that uses the earth or ground water as a source of heat in winter and as a sink in summer to cool.

The transfer of heat generally takes place through the agency of a liquid generally water is used as the liquid medium. Sometimes a antifreeze mixture is also used with or without water. There are two types of GHP systems. Open loop and closed loop type of GHP systems.

The first efficiency should be achieved in the in the sector of cost of installation. The cost of installation of is high this discourages many people from the public as well as the private sector.

For example the cost of water loop geothermal heat pumps is around $800 to $1000 per ton. The prize for the horizontal loops will be around $1000 per ton and $1500 to $1700 per ton for vertical loops.

By the study of current projected sales it is clear that the demand for the Geo thermal pump is increasing day by day so it is very essential to optimize its performance.

The innovations in geothermal pumps:

Innovations in any product are very necessary since they reduce the risk associated with the product which results in the adoption of the technology faster. The latest innovations of the geothermal heat pumps are as follows:

Attribute Perceived Description GSHP
Residential GSHP
Non-residential

These types of innovations are made by the Geothermal operating systems are useful for both the residential and commercial users. For example the innovation of using the mixture of antifreeze with water or using antifreeze totally improved the working of the geothermal pumps to a greater extent.

The use of more and more anticorrosive material has become possible which uses the cheap and long lasting materials. Even the use of more efficient refrigerant or the cooling liquid is been used for optimizing the performance of Geothermal heat pumps.
