Geothermal energy
Source development solutions for ground source heat pumps
With the FRANK GET System (Geothermal Environmental Technology) we offer different solutions for the source development for ground source heat pumps. Thanks to the system concept, all components are coordinated with one another. In addition to the components for source development, the FRANK GET system includes a wide range of chamber manifolds in all load classes and brine manifolds for all hydraulic requirements. In this way you ensure the effectiveness of the entire system. With pipes, fittings and valves for the connection pipework, as well as the associated welding technology, all components come from one hand. In this way you can reduce your sources of supply to a minimum.
The FRANK GET system guarantees a permanent connection to the energy source. Pre-assembled geothermal probes made of PE 100-RC or PE-X, the FRANK VTP for the extraction of energy with low drilling depths. FRANK WET water heat exchangers, brine manifolds and chamber manifolds as well as the corresponding accessories represent a system solution from one hand up to the heat pump connection. Long service life, no corrosion and externally monitored production according to current guidelines (DIN 8074/75, VDI 4640, SKZ HR 3.26) guarantee the quality of our products in worldwide use.
Geothermal probes made of PE 100-RC
FRANK geothermal probes are made of high-quality PE 100-RC materials.
The geothermal probes are factory-welded and supplied pre-assembled to length as duplex probes (double U probes).
The probe base is permanently connected to the probe tube using specially developed automatic welding machines. A characteristic feature of the probe base is that it has been specially developed for geothermal applications as a molded component with flow deflection without cross-sectional constriction. This makes the probe piggable.
Welding of the probes is carried out by DVS-certified welders. An individual probe certificate is available for each probe on this homepage.
The geothermal probes are manufactured in compliance with SKZ guideline HR 3.26 (SKZ certificate no. A 466 / A 803) as factory-welded geothermal probes in accordance with VDI 4640, the welding is carried out in accordance with DVS guidelines and the marking of the pipes has a corresponding metre marking.
The probe base and the probe pipes are made of polyethylene PE 100-RC, black according to PAS 1075, SDR 11 or SDR 9. "RC" stands for Resistant to Crack. This material is approved for sand bed-free installation.
Production is externally monitored by MPA Darmstadt and IMA Dresden.
The FRANK duplex geothermal probes can be divided in just a few steps for use as single probes.
