GROUNDWATER HEAT EXCHANGER

A groundwater heat exchanger includes a distributor, a collector, a plurality of heat exchange pipes, and a housing. The distributor includes a first interior chamber and a first port. The collector includes a second interior chamber and a second port. Each heat exchange pipe includes a first end attached to the distributor and a second end attached to the collector, and defines a fluid passageway between the first and second interior chambers. The housing surrounds the heat exchange pipes and defines a groundwater passageway along the heat exchange pipes that is configured to receive a groundwater flow. In one example, a loop fluid flow received at the first port flows into the first interior chamber, then flows from the first interior chamber to the second interior chamber through the plurality of heat exchange pipes, and flows from the second interior chamber out the second port.
