Use of Geothermal Energy Sources for Heating and Hot Water Supply of Residential Buildings in the Southern Regions of the Republic of Uzbekistan
Highlights
- Shallow groundwater in the populated plains of Surkhandarya stays at about 19–20 °C all year.
- An 8 m well in Angor district measured 20 °C in every month (three readings on one day each month).
- A heat pump would take 10–12 °C of heat from the well water; two wells 30–40 m apart give a continuous supply.
- One small heat pump can heat 200–250 m², enough for two households.
Abstract
The paper examines the possibilities of reducing energy consumption through the introduction of heat pumps installations for heating and cooling residential buildings in rural areas from well water in some regions of the Surkhandarya region of the Republic of Uzbekistan. Some observations of changes in the temperature of water from a well throughout the year are given. It uses the heat of well water as thermal energy.

In plain English
A short paper by a researcher at Termez State University on using heat pumps that draw heat from shallow well water to heat and cool rural homes in Surkhandarya region.
The author measured the water in a well through the year and concludes that water-to-water heat pumps are the most economical way to heat and cool homes there, because operating costs are low.
