ABSTRACT
The present paper assesses the operation of a geothermal heat plant cooperating with an absorption heat
pump. The heat plant system is presented in detail together with parameters characterizing its work: the most
important relations used in calculations, results of calculations, and conclusions resulting from the accomplished
analysis. Calculations have been presented for a heat plant localized in the first climatic zone with
accounts of different temperatures of extracted geothermal water. Additionally, the analysis considered is variation
of parameters characteristic of heat recipients such as supply and return temperature, type and participation
of particular heat receivers. Such an approach enabled us to determine how the considered parameters
influence the effectiveness of operation of the considered heat plant installation. In the present paper neither
costs nor economic analysis was carried out for such types of installations. Thes will be topics for future activities.
