High-Flow Geothermal Single U-Bend, PE100 Large Body for GSHP Probes
Product Overview
The PE100 “Large Body” Single U-Bend is a high-performance fitting designed to optimize the efficiency of single-loop Ground Source Heat Pump (GSHP) systems. It serves the essential function of creating the 180° return at the base of a geothermal borehole but with a key advantage: a focus on hydraulic performance. The “large body” incorporates a wider, gentler bending radius compared to standard compact fittings. This intelligent design significantly minimizes fluid friction and turbulence, resulting in a lower pressure drop across the loop. For the project owner, this translates directly into reduced energy consumption for the circulation pump, a higher system Coefficient of Performance (COP), and lower operating costs over the building’s lifetime. Manufactured from top-tier PE100 resin, its DIN spigot ends are fused to the pipe, guaranteeing a permanent, leak-proof system that will last for over 50 years underground. It is the premier choice for projects where maximizing energy efficiency is a priority.
Key Features
- Optimized for Energy Efficiency: The wide-radius curve is the core feature, engineered specifically to reduce head loss. This allows for smaller pump specification or lower pump speed, saving significant energy.
- Permanent, Monolithic Connection: Socket fusion welding creates a joint as strong and reliable as the pipe itself, completely eliminating the risk of leaks, which is critical for buried infrastructure.
- Boosts System COP: By improving the hydraulic efficiency of the ground loop, this fitting makes a measurable contribution to the overall energy efficiency (COP/EER) of the entire heat pump system.
- Heavy-Duty PE100 Construction: Guarantees extreme durability, with superior resistance to slow crack growth, abrasion, and chemicals, ensuring long-term integrity in any soil condition.
- Enhanced Grout Flow: The larger external profile helps maintain a consistent annular space around the pipes, promoting a uniform grout envelope for optimal heat transfer.
Available Types / Connection Methods
This fitting is built for a single pipe loop and features two spigot outlets for DIN-standard socket fusion. It is available in DN25 and DN32 sizes.
Applications
Ideal for fabricating high-efficiency single-loop geothermal probes in:
