REHAU installed geothermal systems in the Columbus Monument to take advantage of the heat of the subsoil of Barcelona, which remains at about 19 degrees and is a constant source of energy. To this end, under the statue, is installed a geothermal probe buried 100 metres of depth, which through a fluid, is responsible for picking up heat from the ground and send it to the heat pump it distributed around the building.
Used probe has been Raugeo PE-Xa without any soldering tip, thanks to the characteristics of the material PE-Xa the tip of the probe is curved instead of welded. In addition, it is protected with a resin of special glass which ensures maximum security.
The circuit is extremely robust and highly resistant to attacks as you notches, slots and punctual loads ahead of, in this way, any possible deterioration of the monument.
Raugeo PE-Xa in the Columbus Monument has been installed by the company Geotics Innova, client of Rehau and pioneer in the sector, which has already more than 400 installations in all Spain since 2002.
