HVAC 0235 - HEATING (OTHER) GEOTHERMAL (GREEN TECHNOLOGY)

1 Credit Hours

This course will cover the Geothermal heat pumps which are refrigeration machines. Geothermal heat pumps use the earth, or water in the earth, for their heat source and heat sink. Energy is transferred daily to and from the earth by the sun’s radiation, rain, and wind. Each year, more than 6000 times the amount of energy currently used by humans is striking the earth from the sun. This is the study of how we can use this energy.
