System for configuring earth probes

Abstract

A system for configuring earth probes (1) for receiving thermal energy from the earth and / or for discharging thermal energy into the earth, including a conductor system having a feed and a return line, which are connected to each other at the lower end of the earth probe (1), the system including probe modules (11, 12), which each form a section (15, 16) of the feed and / or return line of the earth probe (1) and which can be connected to each other at least by a positive and / or non-positive connection, preferably a plug-in connection, and a base piece (13), which forms a section of the conductor system of the earth probe (1). The section connects the feed line to the return line, and can be connected to the probe modules (11, 12) via at least one positive and / or non-positive connection, preferably a plug-in connection.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a continuation of PCT / AT2008 / 000070, filed Mar. 3, 2008, which claims the benefit of Austrian Application No. A 348 / 2007, filed Mar. 6, 2007, both of which are incorporated herein by reference as if fully set forth.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The invention relates to a system for the construction of geothermal probes for absorbing thermal energy from the ground and / or for dissipating thermal energy to the ground, wherein these probes feature a line system with an outgoing line and a return line that are connected to each other at the bottom end of the geothermal probe, comprising probe modules, wherein a section of the outgoing and / or return line of the geothermal probe is constructed by each probe module and wherein these probe modules can be connected to each other by at least one plug connection, and a foot piece that forms a section of the line system of the geothermal probe, with this section connecting the o...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0017]By providing probe modules in different, for example, four, standard lengths, a high flexibility of the system can be achieved.

[0021]Through the formation of the feed and discharge lines made from line pieces that can be connected to each other by positive-fit and / or non-positive-fit connections, advantageously plug connections, the feed lines and discharge lines can be easily adapted to the given relationships, wherein the assembly expense is low. Advantageously, line pieces of different length are provided, wherein an especially high flexibility can be achieved.

Problems solved by technology

The production of such a geothermal probe is associated with considerable installation expense generated at the construction site.
