Ground Source Heat Exchanger integrated into/with a slab and/or footing of residential or commercial structures.
The core of my idea is that the heat exchanger should be installed into or under a slab and/or footing of residential or commercial structures.
Heat exchanger can be made from any highly conductive materials such as plastic, metal or composite materials.
Heat exchanger can be made in a form of loops or coils or in a combination of these shapes.
Heat exchangers can be connected to geothermal heat pumps.
Such heat exchanger can sufficiently reduce the cost of geothermal systems.
Please note that even a concrete slab without an integrated loop works sufficiently well to exchange heat.
