Modern Hydronics & Heat Pumps

An Enertech Webinar Series

Every month, join us for in-depth training and discussion on application and design for modern hydronics technology coupled with geothermal heat pumps.

Hosted by John Seigenthaler

Case Study: A No-joint Approach To Ground Loops (Nov 20 • 12:00pm – 1:00pm CDT)

Is it possible to install geothermal ground loops without fusion joints? Yes! The method involves 1000′ tubing coils, interior manifolding, and simple but clever details when placing the tubing in the trench. We’ll discuss how one ground loop installation was done this way and the benefits of the approach.

Learning objectives (why join):

1. How a ground loop for a nominal 4-ton water-to-water heat pump was planned.

2. A unique method for providing high quality piping penetrations through a foundation wall.

3. How depth changes and tube routing was used to compensate for the curvature of the trench.

4. The benefits of an interior manifolding system.
