Hi there, I have been investigating the heat sink system aka Geothermal heat rejection. is there anyone out there who has done it before? I have got theoretical evidences that it can be done. |

I'm doing it right now. I have a large heat sink in my back yard and I'm pumping heat in to it or out of it almost every day. I think most of the people on this forum are, too. Some of them have actual data for evidence. |

Can i assume that u are doing an horizontal loop. U will locate the coil around 6 fts below grownd depending on where u find that constant temperature below ground. Do u still have a cooling tower, or u have litteraly replaced ur cooling tower. Thank u! |

Several horizontal loops, 8ft. deep. I have never seen a cooling tower used for residential cooling or heating. This system is 15 yrs. old and is (more or less) the same as thousands of other residential geo-thermal heat pump systems in use. |

paul was there a specific product or design you were asking about? "Heat sink" as a generic term. In this context it could describe virtually any system that's not a pump and dump. Joe |

It is going to be my very first time to do a geothermal heat rejection which I called heat sink system. It is for an office building which is attached to a residential building. the heat load rises to 1.7 MW. The cooling tower plant rrom is located on top of the office building(6 floors), my residential building has got 10 floors, I am trying to avoid moisture, noises,...by using the geothermal system. |

For such a system you will almost certainly require design and install assistance far beyond what we render here |
