I.C.P.P. - Geo Solar

During the summer, solar heat is stored in the surface layer of the soil. Using that energy for heating is a practical approach for houses with a large plot. The amount of energy that can be extracted is greatest in soils with a high water content.

The heat is extracted from the soil by means of buried plastic tubing. An environment-friendly non-freezing liquid circulates in the tubing and delivers the collected heat to the heat pump. In the heat pump the heat is converted into high-grade heat for space heating and to produce hot water.

Geo Solar Energy

Down in the bedrock there is a source of heat that stays at practically the same temperature all year round. Using heat from the rock is a secure, safe and environment-friendly way of heating all types of building, large and small, public and private.

The capital cost is relatively high, but in return you get a reliable, low-energy form of heating with an extremely long life. The coefficient of performance (COP) is good, as high as 4.8. The plant occupies little space and can even be installed on small plots. Very little reinstatement work is needed after drilling the borehole, so the effect on the nearby environment is minimal. The groundwater level is not affected, since no groundwater is used.

The heat energy can be transferred to an existing, conventional, water-borne heating system and can also be used to produce hot water.
