Geothermal energy for a greener future

Depending on the geological conditions, hot springs lie several kilometers deep and can be used to provide CO2-free heat.
Existing district heating networks can be used even more efficiently and, above all, more climate-friendly with sustainable use of geothermal energy. With ist hot springs, Iceland in particular is a pioneer in generating heat and energy with geothermal energy.

The island of Iceland in the North Atlantic has a large number of active volcanic systems and is at the forefront of the world's use of geothermal energy. 27% of primary energy in Iceland comes from geothermal energy.

Green energy in front of the door

Superheated steam is transported from the earth's crust to the surface through several boreholes. This superheated steam, which is mixed with solids, is used to generate heat using the heat exchanger principle.

The perfect solutions for geothermal energy

KLINGER BALLOSTAR KHA ball valves are installed in pump shafts through which the water is pumped into the basins. The challenge for the valve is that residual water in the pipe and also in the valve can crystallize and impair the valve. The requirement for the valves is a long service life and 100% availability.

KLINGER Ballostar ball valves are successful throughout Iceland, suitable to meet multiple specialized geothermal needs for both public and private use. Today, Iceland's geothermal power plants produce more than 27% of the country's electricity.
