01 / Overview

Ground source heat pump system is an efficient and energy-saving technology that utilizes shallow geothermal energy on the Earth's surface to provide heating, cooling, and hot water for residential and commercial buildings. The system mainly uses buried pipelines underground to exchange heat with soil or groundwater, thereby absorbing or releasing heat and achieving energy "transportation". The use of ground source heat pump systems reduces dependence on fossil fuels and lowers greenhouse gas emissions, making it an important technology for promoting energy conservation and carbon reduction in buildings.

02 / How visitors use it

The unit is designed for unsupervised public use: controls are recessed or shielded, moving parts are enclosed, and the interface is operable by a child of about six with no instruction. Where a screen is used, the language can be switched without changing the hardware, and the content can be replaced on site.

03 / The science behind it

Ground source heat pump technology, also known as geothermal pump, is a technology that efficiently utilizes the relatively stable characteristics of underground soil and groundwater at room temperature. By deeply burying pipeline systems around buildings or utilizing groundwater, and using the principle of heat pumps, only a small amount of high-level electrical energy input is required to transfer low-level thermal energy to high-level thermal energy, thereby completing heat exchange with buildings. Working principle: Winter heating: In the cold winter, the heat pump unit absorbs heat from the ground source (such as shallow water or soil) to provide a warm indoor environment for the building. Summer cooling: In the hot summer, the heat pump unit absorbs heat from indoors and releases it to the ground source, thereby reducing indoor temperature and achieving air conditioning cooling effect. According to the different forms of geothermal exchange systems, ground source heat pump systems are mainly divided into the following categories: 1 Groundwater source heat pump system: using groundwater as a heat exchange medium. two Ground source heat pump system for surface water: based on the surface.

04 / Built for a public floor

Every unit leaves the factory after a running test: mechanisms cycled, electronics burned in, edges dressed, fixings torqued and marked. Wear parts — bearings, sliders, lamps, belts, touch panels — are modular and listed on the spare-part sheet, so a venue technician can replace them without returning the exhibit. Crating is plywood with foam blocking; the loading plan and packing list travel with the shipment.
