GeoCollect-absorber modules collect valuable energy from the soil surrounding them. Correct dimensioning ensures reliable regeneration of the soil in the absorption area.
GeoCollect-absorber modules are an effective and affordable alternative to soil sensors. This system requires much less space than conventional collectors.

Function – extraction rate
Theoptimumsurfaceareaprincipleandthethin-layer&turbulentflowthrough(low-flowprinciple)allow theGeoCollect-absorbers toachieve theirefficientextractionrate.
The vertically installed GeoCollect-absorbers take the energy from a large cubatureofsoil(approx.0.5mhorizontalandapprox.0.4mvertical).Thislayout,withadistanceof0.7mbetween theabsorbers, leads toextremely lowspatialrequirementswithanextraction rateof142.61W/m2.Thisapplies tomore than 95 % of all climate zones and soil types in Germany.
Theperformance table, in theAttachments to theTechnicalmanual, is requiredforprecisedesignwithregardtobothpossibleextractionperformanceaswellasannual output.
In the case of dry gravel soils, additional water retention measures are to beplanned(e.g.rainwaterirrigation,sheetingbasin).
The performance values are determined based on the average soil composition in Germany:

7. Combination with other sources of energy
The GeoCollect-absorber system is an ideal addition to other sources of energy for brine/waterheatpumps.
The GeoCollect-system can be designed correspondingly smaller, thus savingcostsandreducingspatialrequirements,dependingontheoutputanddurationofavailability of other sources of energy.
Typical combinations are:

9. Conforming with requirements in drinking waterprotectionzone3a/b
The GeoCollect-system often makes it possible to set up a geothermal system even if a borehole cannot be permitted.There are not usually any particular requirements if the aquifer layers have a high distance to the GeoCollect-system in drinking water protection zone 3a/b. Atlowerdistances,e.g.abentonitebarrierlayercanprovidethenecessarysafety.Agroundwater detection rod can be set up to demonstrate the leakproofness of the bentonite barrier layer.Wewouldbepleasedtoassistyouintheplanningindirectdiscussionswiththerelevant authorities.
