Is there a boilerplate / template I could see that shows how a typical system works.
Ex. The temp of the water is X,  one thermostat is callling for heat, 2 thermostats are calling for heat, one heat & one cool and fan. Is there something like that someone could send me?  annerhard@yahoo.com Please.
Thanks,

I am not sure what you are asking for.

Is this for a radiant heat system ?  Other wise water temp has no bearing on anything controlled by a thermostat unless the ground loop temps gets close to 20° F.

If you have a a radiant system,  then there is no cooling or fan available, unless you are using air handlers to cool with.

Is this for a house or large commercial building?  House systems are not capable of heating and cooling at the same time unless you have two heat pumps controlled by separate thermostats, then it  is easy.

If this is in reference to your first post, then you are far outside the realm of normal when it comes to geothermal systems.  In fact what you posted about is not even geothermal.  It is a mix of solar and water source heat pump. Which is kind of intriguing to me.

My advice is to find a mechanical engineer in your area.  There is no way we can help you design something so far removed from the normal application of geothermal systems.

This probably sounds harsh, I apologize for that.

Good luck with your project. I would really like to hear how it turns out
