System Design
The key to achieving optimum levels of performance and efficiency lies in the design of the heat pump system. Geothermal International has been designing ground source heat pumps systems longer than anyone in the UK and has designed and installed the largest closed loop system in the UK (with 150 bore holes, each 98m deep) and the largest open loop system in the world (providing up to 5MW of heating & cooling).
In general, the design process is carried out as follows:
Feasibility Study & Discussion Document
Our design service begins with an initial feasibility study, We will ask you to provide the postcode of the property/development, an outline of the heating and cooling loads and site plans if they are available. Using this information, along with geological information for the location, a member of our technical team will prepare a discussion document. It will include outline installation costs, estimated carbon run costs and estimated savings.
Site Visit
This provides the opportunity to discuss the project in detail and for the engineer to gain a full understanding of the client's requirements.
System Design
We have developed our own ground loop design technology. This bespoke software provides greater levels of accuracy and flexibility than any other in the market place. For large scale installations the detailed design document will include all aspects of the external works, plant room layouts and the interface with the internal heating distribution.
Once the system has been designed and approved, we can hand the drawings over to your approved installer or we can undertake the full installation process. Geothermal International will be responsible for commissioning the system.
