Ground Source Heat Pump – Horizontal Closed Loop Heat Pump – Horizontal Closed Loop

Text in the illustration

indoor coil
compressor/ heat exchanger unit
piping is run in trenches 4' to 6' deep
piping is typically high density polyethylene or polybutylene
horizontal closed loop coil connected in series

Generated explanation

The illustration shows a house connected to a horizontal closed-loop ground-source heat pump system. A long serpentine piping circuit extends beside the house, with successive horizontal runs connected in series by return bends. An annotation specifies that the piping is installed in trenches 4 to 6 feet deep, although the ground is omitted to expose the layout. The piping is identified as typically high-density polyethylene or polybutylene, and the house-side equipment is labeled as an indoor coil and compressor/heat exchanger unit. No defects or improper installation conditions are indicated.
