Geothermal Closed Loops

Summer Horizontal Loop	Winter Horizontal Loop
Summer Vertical Loop	Winter Vertical Loop

The vertical ground loop configuration is optimal for buildings where yard space is insufficient for horizontal loops. It is also recommended in places where the earth is rocky close to the surface or in projects of retrofit applications where minimum disruption of the landscape is desired.

• Vertical holes are bored in the ground, with depth 150 to 450 feet. Each hole contains a single pipe loop, which has a U-bend at the bottom. Once the pipe is put inside, the hole is filled up with earth and/or grout. Next, all vertical pipes are connected to a horizontal pipe, which is also buried underground. The purpose of the horizontal pipe is to carry fluid to and from the geothermal system in a closed ground loop circle.
