Geothermal Heating

Geothermal heating is a term for the hot rock effect which is found within the earths crust. High temperatures occur deep below the surface of the earth due to the earth's core, volcanic and pressurised environments. This leads to higher temperatures within the ground at great depth. Geothermal heating is also a term used apply to ground source heat pumps. In truth there is no correlation between the Ground Source Heat Pumps and Geothermal Heating.

Geothermal is true naturally occurring heat which is not related to Heat Pump Technology. This occurs many miles below the surface of the Earth and is generated by internal forces below the surface. The generation of Heat for Heat Pump Technology is created by a mixture of Solar Power and Thermo Dynamics. Both of these combine with a Ground Source Heat Pump or Air Source Heat Pump allow for energy to be harnessed and converted into:

• Hot Water for baths/showers etc
• Hot water for Central Heating Systems
• Comfort Cooling

The common element in Geothermal activity and Heat Pump technology is that both are found as naturally occurring eco friendly events without a man made carbon footprint which provides an ideal alternative to traditional power sources. Danfoss Heat Pumps UK provide a range of commercial products and services including:

• Domestic & Commercial application
