Most closed-loop geothermal heat pumps circulate water or a blended water-glycol solution through a closed loop—usually made of a high-density plastic-type tubing—that is buried in the ground or submerged in water. A heat exchanger transfers heat between the refrigerant in the heat pump and the antifreeze solution in the closed loop.
