NanoGeoTherm Projects

To successfully transform project ideas into practical products and processes, the network adopts a holistic approach that considers the entire system and the complex interactions between ground, backfill material, heat probe, heat transfer fluid, and heat pump. Only through a shared understanding of these interdependencies can an industrially viable overall system be developed.

To achieve this high standard of quality, the network brings together diverse expertise and integrates knowledge from various specialist fields.
