Open loop heat pump system
Energy storage in buildings - a technology overview (BG 73/2018), written by John Piggott and published by BSRIA in 2018, defines an open loop heat pump system as: ‘A heat pump system in which the working fluid is drawn from an open source such as a lake or river and is therefore not fully contained in pipework.’
