Geothermal Energy Development in the Eastern United States. Technical Assistance Report No. 6, Geothermal Space Heating and Air Conditioning - McGuire Air Force Base, New Jersey

摘要

This report studies the feasibility of space heating and cooling 200 multi-family on-base housing units using non-reversible heat pumps and ground water from 1000 ft. depth. The 200 housing units are a part of the 1452 main base multi-family housing complex which is now heated from a high temperature and pressure water line. The main system will be converted from natural gas to coal in 1984. Relative cost, amortization periods, and fossil fuel projections are compared.
