Earth Loop Systems

Engineered for Efficiency and Flexibility

Earth Loops enable direct exchange of thermal energy with the earth. Standard refridgeration tubing is used because of its high thermal conductivity. The loops are designed in three different configurations (vertical), horizontal, and diagonal- see image below) to meet most new and retrofit applications. This allows for the selection of he most economical loop configuration for each installation. Earth loops are easy to install because hey use a much smaller bore hole and less excavation than water-based systems.

 

 

 

 

 

The earth loops are like arteries in a human body. The loops are connected to the heat pump to circulate refrigerant and directly exchange thermal energy with the earth. EarthLinked ground loops have the smallest size and smallest footprint in the market. They have the highest temperature differential with the earth, which means they can use the least amount of earth contact to work effectively. The loops can be installed in three different configurations—horizontal, vertical or diagonal—for maximum design flexibility and cost-effectiveness.

Business Owners
High Return on Investment
No matter where your commercial operations are located, you can generally recover the initial investment in 3 to 4 years depending on the EarthLinked® system’s configuration, usage and the cost of competitive energy sources. The more you use its efficiency, the higher the return on your investment.

Greater Savings and Convenience
When you select EarthLinked, you choose a system that delivers up to 400% electrical efficiency compared to a typical 80-85% efficiency for commercial gas water heating. This means you can lower your water heating costs up to 75% and stabilize your operating energy costs. Because EarthLinked’s heat source is always available, you can shift demand off-peak and thereby use lower electric rates for water heating where such rates are available.
