NANOOK - open source DIY 19kW GWHP
 
Hi community, I just want to share my successful built of 19kW ground-water heat pump. It’s completely open source, incl. calculations, chassis drawing, schematics and control software.
Anybody who wants to clone the construction is highly welcomed!

Here are some highlights:
- 19kW heating power
- 65°C / 149°F max. output temperature
- r134a refrigerant
- 950 meters ground loop
- easy to build
- 8 temperature sensors
- 4 pressure sensors
- 2 flow sensors
- EEV (with supercapacitor backed up closure on power failure)
- Panasonic/Sanyo scroll compressor
- soft starter
- 2 circulation pumps
- onboard control system running Linux
- configuration via web browser

That’s beautiful! What kind of C.O.P are you getting?

Thanks. COP is not measured yet. The built-in pulse flow meter is working, but is not calibrated yet. As soon as I do calibration by another flow meter, I will let the software calculate COP and will post it here.

I'm impressed. That is a beautiful job.!!! You have went the extra mile with controls. Soft start will be well worth the effort for a machine that size. We can compare notes with my 5 ton DIY

Hi Randen, I like your drum design :) I wish my NANOOK will be as reliable as your machine - 5 years in service, that's impressive!

Budget
 
Any idea of the total price of equipment and time to spend?

pavel 02-16-19 05:20 PM

In terms of time, it was almost one year of development. Construction of the pump itself, when I had everything on table, took few days only, it went smooth, including refrigerant charging. In terms of money, the pump was about 2500 USD, collector 3500 USD.

Costs
 
What are the typical costs for producing energy now?
Mantainance eletricity etc...

Here in Czech Republic, I would spend at least 3000 USD per year for direct electric heating. So it's quite a good ROI - if that's what you are asking for.
