In this institution, the system was implemented in 2024 at a cost of 6 million soms. Heat for heating is sourced from underground water.
During her visit, Kendirbaeva noted that this technology has a positive impact on both the economy and the ecology, providing savings of up to 85% on electricity.
In a conversation with Turdubek Momokonov, the head of the district education department, the minister emphasized the importance of organizing a seminar at the national level to promote this heating method in educational institutions across Kyrgyzstan.
According to information from open sources, the "water-water" system is a type of geothermal heating, where underground water serves as a heat source, transferring it to the heating system through water.
Main aspects of the "water-water" system
It uses artesian or groundwater obtained from wells, boreholes, or underground horizons.
The temperature of the underground water remains within +8…+12 °C throughout the year.
The heat pump extracts heat from this water, which is then transferred to the building's heating system (radiators or underfloor heating).
Advantages
Outstanding efficiency (savings of up to 80-85% energy).
Reliable operation in both winter and summer.
Environmental cleanliness.
Ideal for large facilities (schools, kindergartens).
Disadvantages
Need for drilling wells and obtaining permits.
Not universal (depends on the level of underground water).
Higher installation cost compared to the "air-water" system.
Common areas of application
Kindergartens.
Schools.
Medical institutions.
Private homes with access to water.
In brief:
The "water-water" system uses underground water for heating, transferring heat to the heating system.
