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. An indoor coil and a compressor/heat exchanger unit are identified at the house. The ground-loop piping forms a series of long parallel runs joined by return bends and connected in series. Annotations specify installation in trenches 4 to 6 feet deep and identify the piping as typically high-density polyethylene or polybutylene. No defects or improper installation practices are depicted.
