Abstract

A geothermal aqueduct network has a heat pump inside each individual dwellings plus a circulation pump to provide circulation between the house and the aqueduct by way of an exit pipe (besides the existing water entry pipe) that returns the water to the aqueduct network. Having constant water circulation further insures against potential freezing up of the water in the aqueduct. This constant circulation can be achieved in various ways such as use of water by residents using water, by internal leakage that, in practice, is always present in aqueduct system or, by an overpressure release valve which empties water into the storm sewer system or back into the water reserve cistem of the aqueduct system.
