Overview of GEROtherm® Geothermal Probe Systems
The GEROtherm® geothermal probe system by HakaGerodur AG is designed for harnessing near-surface geothermal energy for heating and cooling buildings. It utilizes closed, maintenance-free polyethylene pipe systems to transport heat via a liquid carrier, such as a water/glycol mix, to a connected heat pump.

Key Features

• Constructed entirely from high-quality polyethylene, offering a long lifespan of 100 years.
• Low hydraulic resistance and no corrosion issues due to its plastic composition.
• Resistant to extreme temperatures and impact, ensuring easy installation.
• Modular design for straightforward assembly and optimal soil pollution safety.
• Patented probe foot for enhanced performance.

Material and Quality Assurance
Polyethylene, used for over 50 years in the drinking water sector, is selected for its durability and flexibility. The system's quality is assured by the Süddeutsche Kunststoff-Zentrum, ensuring compliance with ISO, DIN, and DVS standards. The VDI guideline No. 4640 outlines the requirements for geothermal probes.

Application Flexibility
The modular system allows for both small and large installations, with over 100 borehole heat exchangers possible. Flow control devices are recommended for optimal performance.

Environmental Impact
Polyethylene offers an optimal life cycle assessment compared to other pipe materials, requiring less energy from production to finished polymer.

Components
The system includes various components such as universal adapters, purgers, wall lead-throughs, distributors, collectors, geothermal probes, circulation pumps, heat pumps, and safety valves, among others.
