  • Patent number: 11371193
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a road pavement comprising pipes of a device for a heat exchanger, comprising the following steps: a) digging a course to create grooves extending in a same direction and strips connecting the grooves, then b) laying the pipe having a crushing strength higher than 2 000N per linear metre of pipe at 100° C. into the grooves created in step a); and then c) filling the empty space left free by the pipe in the grooves with an asphalt mix having a working temperature lower than 160° C., based on: a hydrocarbon binder, at least 90% by weight, with respect to the total weight of the asphalt mix, of an aggregate fraction the elements of which have dimensions less than 10 mm, and comprising from 30% to 60% by weight, with respect to the total weight of the aggregate fraction, of sand, d) applying a surface course for a road pavement.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10711413
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a road surfacing on the surface pipes of a heat exchanger device by a) spreading asphalt mix comprising a granular fraction, a hydrocarbon-based binder at a temperature below 160° C., wherein the asphalt mix has a workability of less than 400 N, b) depositing the pipes, said pipes having a crushing strength greater than 3000 N per linear metre of pipe at 100° C., a thermal expansion less than 200·10?6 K?1 at 20° C. in such a way as to enable their indentation even in the absence of cooling means or pressure application means, c) indenting the deposited pipes into said integration layer by compacting said asphalt mix during the workability period of said asphalt mix, to form an integration layer comprising the pipes of a heat exchanger device, and d) applying a surface layer there above for the road surface.

  • Publication number: 20190276989
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a road surfacing comprising on the surface the pipes of a heat exchanger device, characterised in that it comprises the following steps: a) spreading at a temperature below 160° C. asphalt mix, comprising a granular fraction, a hydrocarbon-based binder, said asphalt mix being workable, having a workability, measured with a Nynas workability meter at the working temperature of the asphalt mix, of less than 400N, then b) depositing the pipes, said pipes having a crushing strength greater than 3000 N per linear metre of pipe at 100° C., a thermal expansion less than 200.10?6 K?1 at 20° C.
