Geothermal heat pumps

OCHSNER ground source heat pumps

Geothermal energy for your home.

For decades, OCHSNER ground source heat pumps have been a tried and tested solution for efficiently supplying buildings with environmentally friendly heat from the ground. Since this energy source is subject to only minimal temperature fluctuations throughout the year, OCHSNER ground source heat pumps achieve very good efficiency values, continuously and reliably.

Products overview

OCHSNER TERRA FOX

4 - 16 kW

The Smart Grid-enabled high-end geothermal heat pump OCHSNER TERRA FOX stands for maximum efficiency (SCOP up to 5.8, A+++) and quality. It operates whisper-quietly (32-36 dB), adapts flexibly to your needs thanks to inverter technology, and is equipped with an intuitive touch display and Modbus interface. Whether as a compact Tower S200 or space-saving indoor unit S1, it is ideal for heating, passive cooling, and domestic hot water preparation in single and multi-family homes.

OCHSNER TERRA

20 - 78 kW

OCHSNER brine/water ground source heat pumps provide a wide range of options to make highly efficient use of the ground as a constant heat store for heating and DHW heating. Active and passive cooling are also optionally available, depending on the model. The Ochsner brine/water series absorbs heat from the ground in three ways: via horizontal collectors laid flat in the earth, trench collectors, or vertically installed geothermal probes.

Geothermal heat pump benefits

Making the best use of geothermal energy

Ground source heat pumps use the even temperature of the ground as a constant and reliable source of energy. This energy can be tapped in two ways, depending on the conditions on site: via collectors laid horizontally in the ground, or geothermal probes sunk vertically. In both cases, heat is drawn from the ground and the temperature level raised by means of the thermodynamic heat pump process. This energy is then available for the heating system and for DHW heating.

Temperature control: cooling and thermal store charging

Your OCHSNER ground source heat pump can be designed to additionally allow cooling and temperature control in the summer. In passive cooling, heat is transferred from surface heating systems to the ground via geothermal probes. Since the ground is cooler than the air in the house in summer, with temperatures constantly in the region of 10°C, room temperatures can be lowered by a few degrees. The energy costs are minimal, because only the circulation pump for the heat transfer medium in the geothermal probes is activated.

Heat yield in winter, almost maintenance-free

OCHSNER heat pumps provide temperature control by using the ground as a heat store. This makes it possible to use waste heat from the house to improve the heat yield in winter. With the right planning, the geothermal collectors are always laid deep enough in the ground in a frost-free location. This rules out any freezing. OCHSNER ground source systems are almost maintenance-free. Horizontal collectors and geothermal probes are very durable and robust and do not normally require any maintenance or servicing. An annual inspection of the whole system is recommended.
