More often they are used directly to heat buildings. Heat pumps take thermal energy from any low-grade heat source (water, air, low-temperature soil) and concentrate it, then transfer it to heat the building. Approximately 100,000 settlements in Russia are gasified, and in the rest of the territory, heating systems based on geothermal pumps may be almost the only alternative to firewood, since neither solar nor wind energy can adequately heat buildings.
For heating soil water pumps are more efficient: they absorb heat from the soil and transfer moible number data it to 's heating system. To extract heat from the soil or groundwater, a so-called primary heat exchange circuit is used: it is a ring-shaped pipe laid in the soil, through which a refrigerant (usually an alcohol-water solution) circulates. Passing through a layer of earth (or groundwater), the refrigerant heats up, actually bringing the heat to the heat pump.
A heat pump using Freon and a compressor will convert to concentrated) and transfer this heat to the water that circulates in the pipes of the building's heating system. Such devices can be either small (designed for low-rise buildings and bungalow buildings are now the majority) or designed for heating multi-storey buildings. The latter is still rare and there are several pilot projects in the territory of the Russian Federation.
