MGS, a UK-based geotechnical and ground source heat specialist supplier, has expanded its Thermo-Loops range to include larger diameter pipes that meet the growing demand for higher-capacity ground source heat pump systems.

We're excited to continue developing new products

Previously only available in 32mm and 40mm, Thermo-Loops pipes can now be supplied in 45mm and 50mm diameters to support more demanding ground source heat applications. The new diameters of MGS Thermo-Loops are supported by a full range of electrofusion fittings, including those for the 45mm Thermo-Loops.

"Smaller diameter loops can experience pressure drops in deeper borehole installations. So, our 45mm and 50mm Thermo-Loops are designed to help alleviate this issue and ensure deeper systems operate at maximum efficiency," Darren Portway, division manager at MGS, said.

Since MGS added the supply of ground source materials to its extensive product range in 2004, it has been at the forefront of geothermal and ground source heat supplies with its Thermo-Loops receiving notable success.

"We're excited to continue developing new products and support our industry with innovative geothermal solutions that ensure heating is heading towards a sustainable and cost-effective future.

"Ground source heat extraction is increasingly the best solution for residences, businesses, and industrial buildings to create more sustainable and cost-effective heat. With our expanded range of Thermo-Loops, ground source heat systems can be deeper and larger with ease and dependability," Portway said.

Produced in the UK, the Thermo-Loops are made from virgin grade PE100-RC, which is a very durable crack-resistant polyethylene material, ensuring a maximum lifespan. The MGS Thermo-Loops are manufactured in accordance with Ground Source Heat Pump Association (GSHPA) standards to ensure the underground heat exchange system is built to last.
