Asphalt

Asphalt thermal collector Netherlands - An innovative integrated heating and cooling system for a Dutch commercial building in Scharwoude combines asphalt heat absorbers, thermal ground storage and a heat pump system. The asphalt collector has been specifically designed to withstand surface pressure from heavy road traffic. In this application, absorbers have been installed in a road, a nearby parking lot and an outside storage area. The system is able to collect heat and cold during the relevant season for storage in an aquifer. The object to be conditioned consists of office buildings with multipurpose workspaces. A hollow concrete floor is used for ventilation and to accommodate the building utilities, which creates a highly flexible workspace. Th
