The RE590 Ground Source Simulator is designed to provide a limited external heat sourcefor the water evaporator on the R833 Air and Water Heat Pump or R560 Water Water HeatPump.Normally the R833/R560 is operated from a mains water supply to both the watercooled condenser and the water sourced evaporator.By addition of the RE590, the mainwater sourced evaporator is replaced by a glycolwater solution pumped around a heatexchanger that is embedded in a 172 litre water or sand/soil reservoir. This is similar to realheat pump installations where the source may be a pond or ground area.
Typically plastic pipes may be buried underground either in long trenches, boreholes orponds.Usually a secondary fluid, such as a glycol-water mix, is pumped through the pipeswhere it picks up low grade heat and passes this to the evaporator heat exchanger of avapour compression heat pump where the heat evaporates the refrigerant.
