ThermoCem®

Product
ThermoCem® is a hydraulically-setting dry mortar specially developed for bedding in geothermal probes. Compared with conventional backfilling materials, the thermal conductivity of ThermoCem® is twice as high (λ=2.0 W/mk). In addition, ThermoCem® guarantees an effective and powerful bond between the probe and the soil area.

Application
Geothermics (also referred to as geothermal energy) is the energy stored within the earth. In the Central European region, for every 100 m below ground the temperature increases by around 3°C. The energy stored in the earth is not dependent on the seasons and is constantly available. Our current understanding is that this is an inexhaustible source. Using suitable systems, geothermics can be used to obtain electricity (e.g. hot dry rock procedure) or for heating or cooling buildings (e.g. using geothermal sensors connected to heat pumps).
