All about geothermal energy
Use the free geothermal energy for heating and cooling buildings!
Use the free energy out of the ground for heating and cooling buildings:
FRANK GET-System
To use energy out of the ground, the FRANK GET system offers various options for clean and future-proof geothermal energy.
Geothermal probes:
For drilling depths up to 400m
VTP:
For limited drilling depths
Collector set:
Geothermal energy without drilling
WET:
Geothermal energy from lakes and rivers
PKS-THERMPIPE:
Geothermal energy from waste water and soil
What is geothermal energy?
Geothermal energy is the thermal energy stored in the ground which is constantly being recharged like a battery by heat from the Earth's core and - close to the surface - by solar radiation. In our part of the world, the Earth maintains a constant temperature of 8 to 12 °C at a depth of 10 meters all year round.
This temperature level is suitable for both energy-saving building heating with heat pumps and also building cooling.
Through
the use of geothermal energy, modern heat pumps convert one kilowatt
hour of electricity into up to four or more kilowatt hours of thermal
energy. Using a geothermal heat pump thus also saves considerable
amounts of fossil energy and significantly reduces CO₂ emissions.
Geothermal energy:
- is technically mature
- reduced CO₂ emissions is making it environmentally friendly and climate-friendly
- the geothermal energy source is sustainable and inexhaustible
- is independent from fossil fuels
- in addition to heating, passive cooling is also possible
- low maintenance
- ensures security of energy supply, because it is available on the own property
Ground source heat pump system with geothermal probes:
Future-proof
To fulfil the requirements of the European renewable energy directive and the resutant national renewable energy action plans heat pump systems get a real high importance.
For example in germany the implementation of an building energy label increases transparency in determining energy requirements.
Due to their efficiency advantage, houses with heat pumps can easily meet future german EnEV standards and usually reach the highest classes of the energy label, whereby the highest efficiency class (A +++) is only achieved with a ground-source heat pump.
