Sustainable solutions you can trust
What is ground loop design?
Ground loop design is the process of planning and installing the network of pipes used in ground source heat pump systems to efficiently transfer heat between a building and the ground.
Experts at Geowarmth ensure that our systems operate sustainably and efficiently by using advanced software and expert analysis to bespoke design the loop to the specific thermal properties of the site.
What comes next?
Having identified the feasibility of a scheme and the likely ground conditions, in order to size and design a borefield for the proposed development, the thermal conductivity of the ground and the heating loads of the building are modelled in a borehole array design software package. We undertake this analysis and provide our recommendation on overall borehole lengths for the proposed heat pump scheme.
Bespoke solution for your precise needs
Experts in closed and open loop systems, we can meet your heating needs using the local environment and geology.
Closed Loop Systems
Horizontal loops involve coils of pipes buried in shallow trenches over 1.5m deep, while vertical loops consist of pipes installed in boreholes up to 200m deep. A mixture of water and antifreeze circulates through these pipes, transferring heat to or from the ground.
Open Loop Systems
Water is pumped from natural sources like rivers, lakes, or groundwater, passed through a heat pump or heat exchanger, and then returned to the source. These systems are regulated to ensure they are sustainable and have minimal environmental impact.
