This document discusses geothermal energy and its applications. It begins by outlining the exploration methods used to identify suitable locations for geothermal energy production, which include satellite imagery, aerial photography, geological and structural mapping, and temperature gradient hole drilling. It then notes that suitable locations are often along tectonic fault lines. Several applications of geothermal energy are mentioned, including its use in power plants and residential settings. Specific installation methods for geothermal heat pumps are also outlined.

15. Geothermal Heat Pump Installation Methods Vertical closed-loopA pair of pipes with a special U-bend assembly at the bottom is placed into bore holes from 100 to 400 feet deep

16. Geothermal Heat Pump Installation Methods Horizontal closed-loopA piping array is installed in trenches cut 3 to 5 feet deep and hundreds of feet in length

17. Geothermal Heat Pump Installation Methods Surface water closed-loopA piping array is submerged in a pond or lake at least 8 feet deep

18. Geothermal Heat Pump Installation Methods Ground water open-loopWell water from an underground aquifer is pumped through the geothermal heat pump and then returned to the aquifer or discharged to the surface
