Аbstract
Heat pumps are devices that convert low-grade heat from the environment (soil, water or air) into high-grade heat energy for heating residential and industrial areas and hot water supply. Soil is considered the most widely used source of heat energy. Vertical or horizontal surface collectors are used to transfer heat from the ground to heat pumps in closed circuits to obtain heat from the ground. Due to the small area, vertical soil collectors with a depth of 50-150 meters are mainly used.
Keywords: geothermal and geodynamic gradient, potential use, heat pumps, low potential heat of soil, water or air.
