GEROtherm^® DUPLEX Palazzo De Larderel -Livorno

CONSTRUCTION:

Palazzo De Larderel, Livorno

DESCRIPTION:

‎Palazzo de Larderel is the most imposing and magnificent 19th-century palace in Livorno. It stands along the street of the same name and now houses the Livorno Civil Court.
Since 1913, it has been home to the world's first geothermal power plant, which uses geothermal energy to generate electricity and is operated by Enel Green Power (EGP). The plant has a capacity of around 800 MW and combines historical innovation with modern technology, including a geothermal museum.
To heat and cool the building, 56 GEROtherm^® DUPLEX geothermal probes made of PE100RC in PN16 4x32 mm with a length of 100 m were installed. The heat pumps used are partly geothermal and partly air-based. The geothermal probes were installed in the inner courtyard of the building.
