Horizontal Loop Ground Source Heat Pumps

Horizontal Loop - Ground Source Heat Pumps These are used when you have space in your garden to lay the pipes horizontally through the ground. Trenches are dug around 1.2m in depth and 250mm - 400mm wide. The collector pipes are then laid into these trenches and back filled with the removed earth. Trenches must be a minimum of one metre apart and one metre from any foundations or building services. The average property requires 400 metres of pipe, therefore 400 sq metres of land for the trenches. The trenches must be the same length to ensure equal pressure drops across the collector system. The surface above the collectors should not be built on, and we supply a plan which shows the location of the pipes in the ground. The collectors link back to the ground source heat pump in your home.
