Geothermal drilling rig WIRTH

New sources of energy
The increasing scarcity of fossil fuels coupled with the ever growing energy consumption forces us to continuously search for new sources of energy. One of these new sources is geothermal energy. This technology uses the fact that the temperature underground is steadily rising with increasing depth. The heat from the soil is transferred to a transport medium, circulating through flexible tubes.



The tubes are installed in the bore holes. The depth of the bore hole varies depending on the application and the required KW-rating. Common depths for private use range around 50 meters. Commercial applications require depths of up to 2500 meters. Heat exchangers either use the temperature of the medium directly or transform the heat of the medium into electrical energy.
