The GEO energy we walk on
We all agree on the advantages of energy efficient construction. By reducing CO2 emissions, we contribute to a more sustainable environment and by consuming less, we save on running costs. In the near future, the need for alternative energy sources will grow even faster.
Geothermal energy or geothermal heating, in which heat is extracted from the earth by means of a heat pump, is increasingly mentioned as the solutions to enhance energy efficiency.
Geo products from Caleffi
Caleffi's GEO manifold (series 110) is built modularly. This means that one can put together the desired number of circuits. To link the various sources to each other, Caleffi supplies double walled plastic manifolds. You can choose from 2 to 8 circuits. The plastic distributor is double-walled and thus insulated, reducing the heat loss on the manifold and preventing condensation. Both ends are fitted with insulating shells.
Balancing is essential in geothermal applications in order to optimize return. It is crucial to have the same flow through each circuit in order to have the same power delivered to the heat pump.
3 control systems, 3 solutions: Caleffi offers 3 possible solutions for regulating and monitoring the flow in each circuit.

| The circuits are set with a special measuring device that works on electromagnetic fields and Piezo electric sensors. | The control valve is set using a simple wrench. On the flow meter, the nominal rate is set by means of an indicator arrow. | With a simple wrench the flow in the various sources is adjusted to make sure it is the same in all circuits. |
