  • Publication number: 20230066528
    Abstract: In a method for setting up a pipeline section of a pipe system in a heat network, which is provided for transferring a heat transfer fluid between a heat provider and a heat consumer, the pipeline section is subdivided into segments in a segmentation step. A segment characteristic variable is determined for each segment based on a physical soil characteristic variable. The determined segment characteristic variables of two adjacent segments differ by more than a predefined segment characteristic variable difference value. In a bedding determination step, segment embedding of a pipeline segment, introduced in the trench in this segment, in a water-permeable segment bedding material is predefined for each segment such that a heat loss of the heat transfer fluid transferred in the pipeline segment, which is averaged over the segment and is based on a unit of length, is lower than a predefined heat loss limit value.

  • Patent number: 5597045
    Abstract: For the induction of underground collector mains, in particular for the ctruction of horizontal filter wells and drainage mains, at least one bore (1) having respectively an inlet aperture (3) and an outlet aperture (4) is introduced into predetermined layers of soil. Then a filter strand drawing in unit (5) which consists of an inner filter strand and an outer protective pipe is inducted into the respective bore (1) and finally the outer protective pump of the filter strand drawing in unit (5) is removed. The filter strand in unit is used as a tool consisting of an inner filter strand and an outer protective pipe. In a preferred further development, the intermediate space between the inner filter strand and the outer protective pipe is provided with filter sand and/or a filter gravel filling.
