Review
'A comprehensive and up-to-date guide which I would recommend to any installer, engineer or architect for the design, selection and installation of domestic geothermal heat pump systems.' Professor Gerhard Faninger, University of Klagenfurt, Austria 'This book, firmly grounded on the European experience of a heat pump engineer and manufacturer, contains a wealth of information both theoretical and practical which will be of great assistance to both system designers and installers.' Tony Bowen, president, Heat Pump Association, UK 'This little book describes the installation details of 12 domestic heat pump configurations in a repeated format and would be most useful as a general introduction for installers.' International Journal of Ambient Energy

Not useful for DIY install,

This review is from: Geothermal Heat Pumps: A Guide for Planning and Installing (Paperback)
I bought this book thinking it would be helpful with a geothermal heating system I was planning to install. The book appears to be no more than a translated product guide for various models of geothermal heat pumps that the author manufactures in Germany. There were some useful equations for various heat calculations but nothing really all that useful. I returned the book.

This review is from: Geothermal Heat Pumps: A Guide for Planning and Installing (Paperback)
I am a licensed professional civil engineer specializing in water supply wells (22 yrs). I purchased this book to learn about geothermal heat pump systems, to the point of design competency. This book is basically an over view and will not in my opinion serve that need. It is extremely terse. I suggest a revised edition include many more examples and more basic explanations of the processes.

What a waste of money!!,
By G. P. (Berlin, Germany) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Geothermal Heat Pumps: A Guide for Planning and Installing (Paperback)
Do not buy this book!! This book does not offer any valuable information beyond that what can be found with a 15min Google search. There are no design formulas and no valuable engineering information! If it would cost 10Euros I could maybe pay for it, but again I would not use it. It is near the top of my list with the worst books EVER!
* I am sad that I cannot rank it with negative stars, since it is consuming time without giving information!
