@Ember421 @scottleibrand @JesseJenkins @KevinSKrause @HarrisBerton @cornoisseur (On vacation, so it will be a while before I can reply) When done right, they will last 100 years, but I have seen improperly sized vertical loops freeze and cause foundation-c
@ThinkingObservr @drvolts Depends where and there are knock on effects too. https://t.co/8UWIuSKwTe ➡️ https://t.co/xdwq5mH26j
@ThinkingObservr @drvolts No the temperature increases are not constant , hence why where the Earth’s crust is thin like in Iceland they have Geothermal but not in the Canadian Shield where it is over 70 km thick . https://t.co/8UWIuSKwTe
@seidlerLab I think this paper is a better place to turn to for information. I suppose technically they are all heat pumps but some did seem to be larger scale.
Multiple incidents occurred in Germany. These have more detailed studies associated with them (at least that I could find).

Food for thought if considering a ground source heat pump vertical borehole. https://t.co/WiWJef5cAb
@EfficiencyLast @energysmartohio @betateach @1codypete @buildingsci @GoingElectricUK @planetkooler @swebster56 @HRAI_Canada The moisture in the earth surrounding the borehole freezes and pushed up creating a mound in the ground that eventually collapses an
How messing with the environment on a small scale can have big implications... https://t.co/qydWqvCh1d
@FullyChargedShw As long as any drilling is done in a way that's compatible with the local geology. It wasn't in Staufen in Germany: https://t.co/gQplCfUvoZ https://t.co/aCUr6iyLgh
