PE ground-source heat pump-specific pipe materials: These are a new type of product made from high-quality polyethylene resin as the primary raw material, with the addition of necessary antioxidants and UV absorbers, and produced through extrusion processing. They operate at working pressures ranging from 1.0 MPa to 1.6 MPa and are suitable for use in ground-source heat pump systems. Principle of Operation: PE ground-source heat pump-specific pipe materials exhibit significantly higher tensile strength and greater pressure-bearing capacity compared to conventional PE water pipes. They have low thermal expansion under stress, excellent resistance to environmental stress cracking, good creep resistance, and outstanding toughness and flexibility. These pipes demonstrate strong adaptability to uneven foundations and displacement, and can withstand harsh environmental conditions such as earthquakes and typhoons. Special additives incorporated into the raw materials give these pipes superior weather resistance (including resistance to ultraviolet radiation) and long-term thermal stability compared to standard PE water pipes. They also feature strong corrosion resistance, eliminating the need for additional anti-corrosion treatments when used to convey corrosive media containing antifreeze agents, and boast an exceptionally long service life. With smooth inner walls, they offer low flow resistance and high hydraulic conductivity, thereby reducing construction costs. They also display excellent wear resistance and are highly resistant to abrasion. The thermal conductivity coefficient of PE ground-source heat pump-specific pipe materials is 0.41 W/m·K, ensuring that winter construction is not adversely affected. Electrofusion (or hot-melt) connections are convenient and reliable, making installation and maintenance simple and straightforward (without requiring water shut-off during the process). When used in conjunction with ground-source heat pumps, this system harnesses shallow geothermal resources found near the Earth's surface—typically within depths of less than 400 meters—as a source of cold and heat for energy conversion in heating and air-conditioning systems. These shallow geothermal resources can be referred to as "geothermal energy," which refers to the low-temperature thermal energy stored in soil, groundwater, rivers, or lakes, derived from absorbed solar and geothermal energy. This form of energy is considered a clean and renewable energy source.
