Abstract (en)

The invention relates to a modular geothermal energy center that will find application in thermal engineering, and in particular will serve to provide heating and cooling power in newly constructed or existing buildings. The modular geothermal energy center includes a main container (1) in which at least one geothermal heat pump (2) is installed, having a condensing and an evaporating part. The evaporating part of each geothermal heat pump (2) is connected through boreholes to geothermal sources, while the condenser part of the geothermal heat pump (2) can be connected to a heating and cooling installation, as well as to a hot water supply installation. The modular geothermal energy center has a heat-transferring fluids managing unit (5), including electronically controlled three-way valves, and one or more additional modules (7, 12, 13) with equipment for hot water supply and indoor installation for heating and cooling. All operation modes of the modular geothermal energy center are controlled by a power supply and control panel (21).
