Vertical-
• 150 to 600 ft. deep.
• Perpendicular to ground
• More expensive to install
• More efficient heat exchange= less piping
Horizontal-
• 6 ft. deep typ.
• Parallel to ground
• Cheaper to install
• Requires much longer piping

Less dense warm water floats over denser cold water,
Thermocline inhibits mixing of warm and cool water
Cold chiller water
enters tank at bottom
and pushes warm water

Off-Peak
Cold water leaves tank at
