Unlike 'normal' heat exchangers, ground loops have flow only on one side. Give that, and the long lengths of pipe, and generally slow thermal...
Just a word of caution. Make sure your contractor for the heatpump is satisfied with the loop design. When you DIY and there are problems, you...
Is your environmental concern regarding antifreeze in the loop? Or is it the potential of outside contamination - the same as for a water well?...
I ask to learn. The original poster did not state the proposed depth of the loops or the water table height in winter. Grout certainly solves...
That is where the observations of successful installers is of value (not just simple testimonies) as well as courses. Not knocking engineering....
It seems the increasing performance (min EWT) would be expoential. So you would need to double field size to cut drop in half. And double again...
One question to ask, how high is your water table? If the water is near the surface, then the pipe conducts through water, not air. Water...
When heating, how much temperature drop do you usually see in a few hours? For example, say ground water is 50°F and it takes 15 minutes for...
Thanks. I provided the refrigerant and the factory provided TXV and filter. So $450-500 seems 'reasonable'. Is it customary to remove the top...
Here are a few questions that I'd ask such a forum: What is the typical labor cost for replacing a TXV and filter? I've been told it is a 4...
Nothing wrong with this forum. What I need is to learn to service the equipment myself. It is clear that I need to service my own...
Does anybody know of any good forums for folks who repair heatpumps?
The attachment to the suction line is on the side of a line that is vertical. In this case, the oil was inbetween the diaphragm and the TXV, the...
