General information
The GROUNDHIT project aims at improving cost-effectiveness and competitiveness, and facilitating market penetration of geothermal heat pumps by:
- Name of technology: GROUND COUPLED HEAT PUMPS OF HIGH TECHNOLOGY
- Technology developer: C.R.E.S.
- Location (address, Country of technology developer): 19th km Marathonos Ave, 19009, Pikermi
- Attiki Greece
- Date of issue (year): 1 June 2004
The GROUNDHIT project aims at improving cost-effectiveness and competitiveness, and facilitating market penetration of geothermal heat pumps by:
- Optimising in terms of heat transfer with the earth, standardizing and developing an industrial borehole heat exchanger (BHE) prototype, which when placed within the earth, it will form a coaxial vertical borehole heat exchanger.
- Optimising ground source heat pumps (electrical water source heat pumps intended to be used together with a borehole heat exchanger) in terms of COP: theoretical design, laboratory experimentation and industrial prototype development of COP>5,5.
- Developing electrical ground source heat pumps able to deliver 80 oC hot water in contrast to market available units which deliver 55-60 oC maximum: theoretical design, laboratory experimentation and industrial prototype development.
- Optimising electrical water source heat pumps intended to utilize warm groundwater 20-40oC in terms of COP: theoretical design, laboratory experimentation and industrial prototype development of COP>7.
- Demonstrating above technologies at 3 sites: (a) ground source heat pump of high efficiency prototypes coupled with borehole heat exchanger prototypes in Portugal, (b) ground source heat pump delivering 80 oC heating water coupled with borehole heat exchangers in Austria and (c) water source heat pump of very high efficiency coupled with a warm groundwater well in Greece.
- Support market introduction and dissemination of the developed technology, by a series of studies, organising two workshops, participating in promotional events and technical and scientific publications.
