GROUND PROBE IN THE FORM OF A DOUBLE PIPE SYSTEM FOR UTILIZING THE EARTH'S HEAT FOR THE OPERATION OF HEAT PUMPS

摘要

A ground probe system is proposed which is designed as a double pipe system (protective pipe/inner pipe), wherein there is a protective pipe which is sealed at the bottom end to protect the groundwater and is filled with a fluid. The system can preferably be produced from thin-walled, corrugated pipes in order to promote heat exchange. If the inner pipe with the fluid for conveying heat is inserted spirally, it is possible for larger quantities of pipe to be accommodated in a protective pipe, the result of which is that the primary energy input for a heat pump can be reduced.
