almost two months Ago the municipality of works of wooden churches at the heart of the geothermal energy used. Now you need to remove the pump again. The technology behind it.

wooden churches – Deja vu in the Old Au: Two heavy-duty cranes Park on the geothermal site, handling heavy pipe pieces. As in November, when the two power the submersible centrifugal pump, the heart of the plant, Protze. This time you have the components but not down in the depth. On The Contrary. Remove the tube and pump again.

After just two months to make the municipality works first repairs at the one Million Euro expensive geothermal pump. The two cranes must lift out of the borehole, where they hung 500 feet below the surface. Blame it on a technical error. More specifically, “inadequate electrical insulation values” of a cable, the pump motors supplied with current, as it is said in a press release, The motors in turn drive the pump, so that the thermal water bubbles to the top.

Now the geothermal is at a standstill, she ran only a few weeks. First of all, in the trial operation, errors such as the current reveal. Since December, the energy fed into the municipal district heating network. Connected households do not have to freeze anyway. You will be supplied about the three other heating systems.

But what is the default for the power plant means? Starting in the spring, it should be the energy from the depth of irradiated omen and gold plating. Whether this time is to keep a schedule to, remains to be seen. When the pump is repaired and up and running again, is unclear. “By the end of the week”, it means you should be initially expanded. How long will the repairs, then, he could not estimate, says a public works employee on request. It could be Tuesday, it could also be that you need to send the affected parts to the factory, to ensure that such an error occurs.

costs not to come to the municipal works expected. You expect a “warranty case”. Simply said: you still have warranty on the pump. The US-American manufacturer Baker Hughes on come, therefore, for the Defect.
