In static or slow-moving water, pond mats are likely to be the best option. These are coils of HDPE pipe mounted onto a frame, weighed down onto the bed.
In faster-moving water, flat plate heat exchangers will be the best option. These can be held in place using ground anchors or mounted to a channel wall. We manufacture our own ‘FireFlo’ heat collectors, specifically designed for water-source heat pump installations. These stainless steel panels are designed to be robust enough to withstand river debris, whilst achieving a high heat transfer rate.
Are you considering a water-source or ground-source heat pump project ?
Renewables First have considerable experience and full project capability, from initial feasibility study through to system design and installation.
The first step towards a water-source or ground-source heat pump project is tell us about your project. The best way of doing this is via our tailored online Enquiry Form.
Once complete, one of our engineers will evaluate the site potential before contacting you to discuss the next stage of your project.
