Ground Source Heat Pump – Vertical Closed Loop Heat Pump – Vertical Closed Loop

Text in the illustration

indoor coil
compressor/ heat exchanger unit
piping is typically high density polyethylene or polybutylene
vertical closed loop connected in series

Generated explanation

The illustration shows a house connected to a ground-source heat pump with a buried vertical closed-loop piping system. An indoor coil and a compressor/heat exchanger unit are shown at the lower level of the house. Piping extends horizontally underground and forms a series of deep vertical U-shaped loops before returning to the equipment. The ground loops are labeled as connected in series, and the piping is identified as typically high density polyethylene or polybutylene. No defects or improper installation practices are indicated.
