Original Abstract Submitted
A thermal system for providing thermal conditioning to a facility includes a facility air circuit for circulating a facility air throughout the facility and a downhole fluid circuit for circulating a downhole fluid. The facility air circuit is thermally connected to a heat pump for exchanging heat with the facility air. The downhole fluid circuit includes the heat pump for exchanging heat with the downhole fluid, a main loop, including a borehole heat exchanger (BHE) for exchanging heat between the downhole fluid and a geological formation, and an exhaust loop including an exhaust heat exchanger coupled to an exhaust of the facility air circuit, wherein the exhaust loop is configured to circulate at least some of the downhole fluid through the exhaust heat exchanger to exchange heat between the downhole fluid and an exhaust flow of the facility air exhausted from the facility at the exhaust.
