5.0 Communal Ground Array
Kensa has pioneered the development of a new system architecture for ground source heat pumps known
as Shared Ground Array. The Shared Ground Array system features a communal ground array linked
to
individual ground source heat pumps installed within each dwelling. It is ideally suited for the shoebox
heat pump and for multiple properties within one building such as apartments.
As the ground array is a key critical component of the installation it is important that it is designed and
installed by specialists.
The heating distribution pipework ideally needs to be designed by a competent heating engineer taking
into account hydraulic losses and pipe sizing.
