What is a ground collector system?
The term “ground collector” is used to describe a geothermal heat pump system that uses a continuous loop of special buried plastic pipe as a heat exchanger. The pipe is connected to the indoor heat pump to form a sealed, underground loop through which an antifreeze solution is circulated. Unlike an open loop system that consumes water from a well, a closed loop system re-circulates its heat transferring solution in pressurized pipe.
