July Update

PE100 RC Pipe (Resistance to Crack)

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.

SENTINEL have long been synonymous with innovation in the world of fluids and their range of energy efficient fluids is no exception.

GG stock a full range of their fluids including the Air Source R600 as recommended by leading OEM Manufacturers and we are happy to offer a sentinel engineer on any project for advice and training where required.

Pre insulated pipe is available in both PEXA and Polybutylene and can be supplied to site within 3-5 days with no minimum order charge!

Look out for more market leading solutions next month from GG the source in Ground,Water & Air Source.

April Update

New for April we now stock Rehau Everloc pipe and fittings upti 50mm ideal for any internal plumbing where the reliability of PEXA and certainty of jointing is paramount.

Go Sustain thermal transfer fluid the truly green option when it comes to fluid for your closed loop system. A derivative of Corn in the form of Bio Glycol this product now offers the choice to go fully sustainable.  Its low viscosity means it can even offer improved flow characteristics in certain applications.

15 & 22mm pre insulated PEXA pipe now available through GG designed for hot and cold water applications. It boasts a CFC free and HCFC free closed cell polyethylene insulation. It will improve the energy rating (SAP) of any building!

New Innovations from Go Geothermal

Pre insulated Pipe

Air Source Preinsulated Pipe Kits

Air-source heat pumps are often situated away from the building and the heated water must be efficiently transported back to the building.  The thermal insulation on our Air Source  is provided by a closed cell polyurethane foam which provides optimum heat insulation and even remains water-tight if outer jacket is damaged.

Your Requirements

Here are the advantages of the RAUTHERMEX ASHP Kit:
•     Flexible installation in the soil under the  frost limit level
•     Flow/Return together in a pre-insulated pipe
•     Straight length max. 25m, leaving with a 90° angle upwards of 1.2m
•     Staggered, 32mm straight lengths of 5m, 10m, 15m, 20m, 25m
•     Optional wall duct into the house
•     No cutting or insulation joint necessary, saving approx 2-4 hours on site
 
The Solution

We offer a unique system package on the market that is exactly coherent to your needs with the following advantages:
•     Unique, mounted complete package
•     All articles included for the connection between the heat pump and the heating system in your house
•     Individually tailored to the needs of the customer
