A new method to increase efficiency of geothermal heat pumps saves 70% in air conditioning
20 june 2016
Researchers of the School of Engineering (ETSE) of the Universitat de València and the Universitat Politècnica de València developed a method to know the thermal conductivity of the subsoil geological layers, one by one. The application in the design of heat pumps exchangers, already used in north countries with cooler climates, would permit a grater efficiency thanks to the reduction of the impact on the environment and a 70% saving in the consumed energy.
