Geothermal System – Installation
· The geothermal ground collector or borehole collector can be installed at any stage of the build. This is usually determined by either the weather, the build schedule or customer preference.
· The timing is established at the system design stage and installation usually takes between one and two days.
· Ground/Borehole collectors are sized according to
- the heat load requirements of the building
- the ground conditions of the particular site
· As each project has individual requirements, it is important to pre-plan the installation of the system and electrical first fix – to avoid complication.
· The heat pump and the under floor system controls are usually the last components to be installed – when the building is nearing completion.
· After completion, the heat pump is commissioned and tested. Then the customer is provided with instructions on the system operation.
