The separatus system: borehole heat exchanger (BHE), distributor, accessories

separatus develops and manufactures the patented Splitpipe borehole heat exchanger (Splitpipe BHE) (a two-chamber pipe with 51 mm external diameter) including distribution systems, probe heads and built-in accessories. It is delivered to drilling contractor, planners and installers in Switzerland, Germany and Austria.

Sectional representation of the Splitpipe probe: Pre- and return separated in a two-chamber tube with 51 mm external diameter

This is how it works

One tube instead of four

Little space for drilling, close access, garden and trees should remain: this is where the Splitpipe comes in. The two-chamber tube with 51 mm external diameter carries preliminary and return separately in a single probe, instead of four pipe strands of a double U-tube BHE. The borehole shrinks to 108 mm, a compact drilling rig is sufficient, and drilling and overall costs of the Earth probe plant decrease by around 15 %.
