Types of Geothermal Loops |
|
Used mainly when land area is limited. A drilling rig is used to bore holes to depths of approximately 125 to 250 feet deep. A U-shaped loop of high-density polyethylene pipe is inserted. The holes are then backfilled with a sealing solution. |
|
Used when adequate land is available. Loop installers use a chain trencher or backhoe to dig trenches. Each trench is approximately 6 feet deep. Trench lengths range from 100 to 300 feet, depending on loop design and application. |
|
Option available if a large body of water is present. A 1/2-acre, 8 foot deep body of water is usually sufficient for the average home. This system places coiled pipe on the bottom of the body of water. |
|
This system can be installed if an abundant supply of well water is available. A proper discharge site, such as a ditch, field tile, stream, or pond must also be present. Check your local codes before selecting a discharge method. Open loop installations do not require a loop field. |
|
All Seasons Corp. installs horizontal close loop systems. We bury the pipe ourselves, and the horizontal loop is the least expensive type of closed-loop installation. |
