both cooling and heating side of the system. The heat pump is made up of four
elements, which include condenser, evaporator, compressor, and valve for expansion. The outcome from the evaporator side is used for comfort conditioning of
Sabhamandap of the temple whereas the output from the condenser side is used for
direct applications such as power generation of 20 kW, milk pasteurisation, and
honey processing.
The geothermal heating and cooling plant contributes to energy-efficient replacement of traditional air conditioners, water coolers, and water heaters. In this plant,
electricity utilization is decreased, and for the long term both economic and societal
advantages can be accomplished.
