Where does water from an open-loop system go?
ABOUT EESCThere are environmental regulations, which govern how the water used in an open-loop system can be returned to the ground. A return well is acceptable, as long as the water is returned to the same aquifer or level of water table. A discharge pit is also acceptable, as long as local regulations and conditions are considered in the design.
Related QuestionsWhat should be done with discharge water from an open-loop system?
ABOUT EESCThe CSA standard and provincial / local regulations require that the water be returned to source after passing through the heat pump. The system removes only a small amount of heat, so the water discharged is not classified as sewage. Care must be exercised to ensure that open-loop systems protect the environment to the greatest degree possible and comply with all laws, standards and regulations.
Related QuestionsWhat does open loop and closed loop mean?
Roboteq Frequently Asked QuestionsOpen and closed loop refers to whether a feedback mechanism is included in the controller-motor assembly for the controller to verify that the motor is actually moving as expected by the command. In open loop, there is no feedback, so a command will vary the controller's output to the motors, but the actual speed will depend on the friction, slope, load and the presence of obstacles. In speed closed loop, the controller will measure the actual motor speed and adjust the command accordingly.

Related QuestionsHow much groundwater does an open-loop system need?
Moses Drilling Company & Frequently Asked QuestionsGeothermal heat pumps used in open-loop systems need differing amounts of water depending on the size of the unit and the manufacturer???s specifications. The water requirement of a specific model is usually expressed in gallons per minute (g.p.m.) and is listed in the specifications for that unit. Your heating contractor should be able to provide this information. Generally, the average system will use 1.5 g.p.m. per ton of capacity while operating.
Related QuestionsWhat is an open-loop system?
Earth Energy SolutionsThe term "open-loop" is commonly used to describe a geothermal heat pump system that uses groundwater from a conventional well as a heat source. A large amount of groundwater is pumped into the heat pump unit where heat is extracted, then the water is disposed of in an appropriate manner. Since groundwater is a relatively constant temperature year-round, it is an excellent heat source.

Is there a concern with poor-quality water in an open-loop system?
ABOUT EESCIn a closed-loop system, the water must be of good quality and meet the specifications of the heat pump manufacturer and the supplier of the anti-freeze solution with which it is mixed. In an open-loop system, some chemicals and minerals in the water may not be compatible with the heat exchanger. An analysis of the water should be performed before purchase to determine which model of exchanger is required. If the water content changes over time, this may have a detrimental impact on the system.

Frequantly Asked Questionsopen-loop system is used less frequently, but may be cost-effective if ground water is plentiful. Open-loop systems in fact, are the simplest to install and have been used successfully for decades in areas where local codes permit. This type of system uses ground water from an aquifer and is piped directly from the well to the building, where it transfers its heat to a heat pump. After it leaves the building, the water is disposed of by one of three methods.Related Questions

What type of water treatment do you recommend for an open-loop cooling system?
Frequently Asked QuestionsBecause evaporative towers scrub the air that passes through them, they are prone to collecting debris from the air. This debris can accumulate and cause flow restrictions; as well as aggravate corrosion. Also, after the water evaporates, dissolved minerals are left behind and accumulate rapidly. For these reasons, a properly engineered and administered water treatment program must be employed continuously with the cooling tower.

How much groundwater does an open-loop system require to operate?
ABOUT EESCDepending on the heat load of the building, most units require 8 to 12 gallons per minute of water; more if the unit is heating potable / service water at the same time.
Related QuestionsWhat is the difference between a closed loop and an open loop?
ABOUT EESCA closed loop is a continuous pipe that circulates a fluid (often with an antifreeze mixture) to extract heat from the surrounding soil or water. An open loop is, essentially, two pipes: one to suck in water that is moved through the heat pump to transfer heat, the other to take the cooled water and discharge it to the appropriate location, usually downstream from the first pipe.
Related QuestionsAre there advantages of an open-loop system over a closed-loop system?
ABOUT EESCOpen-loop units usually are less expensive to install (no need for trenching or drilling) and are more efficient (the heat in the supply water is transferred without the need for antifreeze). Closed-loop units offer more security of supply (less chance of constriction of the water supply) and have no environmental impact. Often, loops operate at a lower cost than open systems due to lower pumping power required.
Related QuestionsWhat is the difference between 'Open Loop' and 'Closed Loop'?
Page not found - ThirdGen.orgWhen the engine is first started, and rpm is above 400 rpm, the system goes into 'Open Loop' operation. In 'Open Loop', the ECM will ignore the signal from the Oxygen (O2) sensor and calculate the air/fuel ratio based on inputs from the coolant and MAF sensors, but mostly from a pre-programmed table in the memcal. The O2 sensor has varying voltage output, showing that it is hot enough to operate properly.
Related QuestionsIs there any difference between a ground loop and a water loop?
ABOUT EESCBoth loops extract heat from the surrounding earth (soil or water) for transfer into the heat pump. Temperature changes in water temperature can be more dramatic than changes in soil temperature (eg: if your water loop were located near a glacial stream) and water levels are more prone to change (eg: drought conditions).

The rules are quite complicated and in most scripts it is probably safer --- and certainly more compatible --- to stick with the sh-like rules. If you are wondering, the following is a rough guide. To make it work you must make sure the TEST itself is clearly delimited.
Related QuestionsWhy does ssh loop with "Secure connection refused'?
The Secure Shell (SSH) FAQ - Frequently Asked QuestionsSSH1 attempts to fall back to the "r" commands when it cannot connect to an ssh daemon on the remote host. It does this by execing your old rsh to use the old protocol. You probably have installed ssh as rsh, and forgotten to give the --with-rsh=PATH option to configure the second time. When ssh is looking for rsh, it keeps executing itself (or an older version of itself). To solve this, recompile ssh with the correct place for rsh.

Related QuestionsWhich system is best, open - or closed loop?
Earth Energy SolutionsA vertical closed-loop, direct expansion system is your best choice, as over a period of years, it will require less maintenance. Sealed and pressurized to eliminate the possible build-up of minerals or iron deposits, direct expansion systems do not require pumps, have less moving parts and are relatively maintenance free. The net results in operating cost and efficiency are similar therefor which system you choose depends mainly on your situation.

Because of the circulation of the city water in the solar collector in the open loop systems, the water channels of the collector calcified, by the time calcification decreases the efficiency of the solar collectors initially. Lime, clogs the water channels of the collector and the solar collector does not operate at all.
