Residential Heating (Central Heating System)
Geothermal energy is a widely used energy source for heating homes. Depending on economic conditions, geothermal fluid is transported to buildings via central heating systems. When transported using specially insulated pipes, the temperature loss is quite low (approximately 0.1–0.3 °C/km). In central heating systems where geothermal fluid is used, hot water or steam drawn from wells is transmitted to the heating center via the main line. Here, the heat of the geothermal fluid is transferred to the circulation water circulating in the buildings by means of heat exchangers. The geothermal fluid, whose heat is taken, is reinjected back into the underground, ensuring sustainable use.
