vertical collection with a probe

 
     
 

The collectors are installed in one or more boreholes 80m to 120m deep. They are polythene tubes under pressure in which brine water circulates. The principle is to collect the heat at depth using a geothermal probe.

This system minimises the surface area used around the house.
