A fundamental and critical component of any efficient performing Ground Source Heat Pump System are the collector pipes where pipe protection and longevity are paramount.
It's widely accepted in terms of good pipe laying practice that sand should be employed both below and above the pipe to protect from sharps as even PE100 Pipe Material is vulnerable to rapid creep if point load damage occurs.
Whilst sand does offer the potential for improved thermal conductivity in poor soils it has become the default position on most installs to lay a sand bedding as traditionally pipe needed protection from the variants of “as dug material” thereby always adding that cost into the job in material and significant labour time.
Go Geothermal Limited can offer you a solution, PE100 RC. Offering low notch sensitivity and superior resistance to point loading and slow crack growth (SCG), the RC material avoids the potential for pipe tears even when point loads caused by rocks occur.
By utilising this pipe in the correct soil conditions NO sand back fill is required! This reduces capital outlay and significant labour time and plant on site.
Go Geothermal are pleased to offer this product as yet another step in the improvement of the technical quality of Ground Source materials.
40mm Pipe coils up to 500m in length
Just in case you're not aware, we now stock 40mm coils right the way up to 400m in length (500m are available direct from the factory). Coils of 300m and greater are the thinner walled variety (SDR17, 2.35mm, 10 bar rated).
Heat Transfer Fluids – Solar & Air Source
The fluids utilised in your Ground or Air Source unit are critical in the efficient operation of the system here at GG we not only stock the leading manufacturers we can advise of the benefits of the different brands including which brands are recommended by the respective HP manufacturers.
Solar fluid is also a product we are able to supply as more installs are integrating the different technologies using buffer tanks. This way the installer can be sure of the high quality that they already enjoy from GG on the solar fluid as well.
Chambers
With every GSHP installation criteria can be different on site; not all houses and gardens are the same. Likewise commercial & public installs have their different challenges.
It's why when GG looked at housing the essential manifolds which are key to any efficient GSHP install we knew one solution would not suffice. The Pre formed sealed Manifold Chamber has many functions and lends itself to a quicker install (time on site reduced) but it is restrictive in terms of options and height adjustment for example.
Our quick assembly chamber has been very popular for over two years but as we are always listening to feedback from the market our products adapt accordingly. To this end we are now stocking 2 chamber sizes which can be assembled simply without all the disadvantages of traditional brick & block.
The beauty of this method is that the chambers are built up in 150mm sections so can accommodate variable heights & multiple entry points for the collectors if needed. The design is also capable of far greater loadings if required as they are already proven in the M.O.D and Highway applications.
The two sizes stocked accommodate most installs but bespoke sizes are available on request.
