What are the types of water-to-water heat pumps? - Joseph Liemandt - 08-10-2025 Water to water heat pump primarily come in two types: open loop and closed loop systems. Open loop systems draw water directly from a natural source like a well or pond, extract heat, and then discharge the water back into the source. Closed loop systems circulate a fluid (often a water and antifreeze mixture) through a sealed pipe network submerged in a water source, transferring heat without directly using the water itself. Here's a more detailed breakdown: 1. Open Loop Systems: How they work: Water is pumped from a source (well, lake, etc.), circulated through the heat pump to extract heat, and then discharged back into the source (or a different part of it). Advantages: Can be very efficient if a suitable water source is available and can handle the flow rate. Disadvantages: Requires a reliable water source with sufficient flow and may have more stringent regulations and water quality requirements due to the direct water exchange. 2. Closed Loop Systems: How they work: A sealed pipe loop containing a fluid (often a mixture of water and antifreeze) is submerged in the water source. The fluid circulates through the loop, absorbing heat, and then returns to the heat pump. Advantages: Easier to maintain, less susceptible to water quality issues, and can be used in a wider range of locations as they don't require a large, consistent flow of water. Disadvantages: May have higher initial installation costs due to the piping network, and the efficiency can be slightly lower compared to open loop systems in ideal conditions. In essence, the choice between open and closed loop systems depends on the specific site conditions, water source availability, and the desired level of maintenance and operational complexity.
