Abstract
A geothermal system having a flow station connected to a heat pump that is connected to a heat pump that is connected to a flow vector assembly. The flow vector assembly is connected to a heating coil and a cooling coil disposed within the ductwork of a furnace. The flow vector assembly may also be connected to a flow helix heat exchanger assembly.
Claims18
A geothermal system, comprising:
- a flow station connected to and in fluid communication with a heat pump by a second conduit that extends between the flow station and the heat pump;
- a flow vector assembly connected to and in fluid communication with the heat pump by a third and a fourth conduit that extend between the flow vector assembly and the heat pump;
- the flow vector assembly having a pair of flow ray valves, wherein one of the pair of flow ray valves comprising:
- a housing with a first port, a second port, a third port;
- an upper torbulus positioned within the housing adjacent the first port;
- the upper torbulus comprising a plurality of ventilation portions, a sealing surface, and a seat disc adjacent the sealing surface;
- a furnace having a cooling coil and a heating coil disposed within ductwork of the furnace wherein the cooling coil is connected to the flow vector assembly by a fifth and a sixth conduit that extends between the cooling coil and the flow vector assembly and the heating coil is connected to the flow vector assembly by a seventh and an eighth conduit that extends between the heating coil and the flow vector assembly wherein in a cooling mode the cooling coil is active and unconditioned air passes through the heating coil which is dormant and is conducted via the ductwork of the furnace into and out of the blower;
- and
- ground loops extending between and connected to the flow station and the heat pump by a first conduit that extends through the ground between the flow station and the heat pump.
