An IHT installation is delivered in four stages:
1 - detailed design work, including bespoke thermal modelling exercise and report to ensure that heat and cooling requirements are matched to the building design and local geology.
2 - Installation of ground arrays for ICAX Solar Collector and ICAX ThermalBanks.
3 - Installation of ICAX packaged plant which is delivered on a skid (including electronic controls, and heat pump) and connection of feeder pipes (to and from Collector, ThermalBanks and heat delivery system). The ICAX skid can balance heating and cooling demands within a building, and store any "waste heat" for use at another time.
4 - Final testing and Commissioning.
ICAX has formed a strategic alliance with REHAU, which provides polypex piping and associated equipment for ICAX Solar Collectors and ThermalBanks. REHAU agents are used to install the ground arrays in 2 (above).
