Subject: Re: Save $$$--use geothermal systems.
if you do not have a runoff system where the water is released into the nearest body of water, then this is very ineffective. He claimed a 40% efficiency rate with the release of the water. That is not enough for deep-freezing temperatures.

I think they must have been talking about a different type of system?


Jim,

I have some cognitive problems. I stated that backwards. You are right.

If the system releases the water, the efficiency is very high.

If the system recycles the water into the ground, the efficiency drops to 40%.

Nice catch.
