Back analysis of a horizontal geothermal plant implemented in a wine production process
The Salcheto winery, located in Montepulciano (Italy) has undertaken a process of reduction of primary energy consumption and implementation of green energy technologies. Thanks to bio-architecture solutions, the winery has reduced the energy consumption of 54%. The rest of the energy is covered by photovoltaic panel, wood biomass and geothermal energy. A horizontal ground source heat exchanger (GSHE) plant is used to cooling a part of the pressed grapes and control the wine production temperature.
