    The GeoSource 2000 is designed to operate on either Flow rate requirements for closed loops are higher than vertical or horizontal closed loop applications. Vertical open loop systems because water temperatures supplied to loops are typically installed with a well drilling rig up to the heat pump are generally lower (see Table 3).

    Table 3 – Loop Side Flow Rates psi initial pressure, the loop may need to be pressurized to 60 to 65 psi. This static pressure will fluctuate from Model Closed Loop Open Loop heating to cooling season, but the pressure should always Flow Flow remain above zero so circulation pumps do not cavitate...

    Electrical diagrams are provided in Figures 5 and 6 and thermostat). This lockout condition means that the unit on the electrical box cover panel of the GeoSource 2000 has shut itself down on a low or high-pressure switch to heat pump. An internal 24-volt, 55 VA transformer is protect itself, and will not come back on until power has provided to operate all control features of the heat pump.

    An optional overflow detection sensor may be added to for cooling on the O terminal, the controller energizes its the GeoSource 2000 heat pumps. This sensor is located O output to send control power to the reversing valve in the drain pan, and monitors the amount of water (VR) to switch the refrigerant circuit to the cooling mode.
