Ground Source heat pumps collection coil & chilling

11:28 AM on 16 May 2008

Filed under: My business

I have joined the garden network as spaceframe, so rather than look like I am spamming, I will give a brief description of my other business which designs and fits renewable energy products (if you want more info drop me a line).
Now the reason for the blog. As some of your are no doubt aware ground source heat pumps are becoming more widespread, the use of 'slinky's' and trenches can cause a significant drop in soil temperature if they are incorrectly installed of specified ( we have seen a number of perma-frosts after only 18 months)
If you are doing a project using / incorporating ground source pipe work and are concerned as to its effects please contact me and I can let you know the implications or help with the specification.
Just a thought for designers and landscapers, why not start including ground coils into designs ? even if the customer doesn,t need it now, it will not discourage them in the future. Pipes can be fitted and capped, why not future proof your garden ?
I can supply materials and installation know how if required let me know what you think.

Welcome Dominic, I like your blog. Have no use for heat pumps myself currently, sadly, but it is interesting to hear the experiene of someone at he coal face as it were. Please write more about soil temperature effects and pipe depth requirements for heat pumps!
