Skanska installs Europe's largest geothermal lake loop

Aug. 12, 2008 - Skanska is close to completing Europe's largest geothermal lake loop to service a new hospital in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire. The company, in conjunction with Geothermal International, is installing a ground source cooling and heating system that will offer Mansfield Hospital 5.4MW of cooling and 5MW of heating.

The system will use a network of heat exchangers submerged in nearby Kings Mill Reservoir, and which are connected to the heat pumps in the hospital buildings. As necessary, the reseroir will provide either a source of, or a sink for, heat to or from the heat pumps.
