Summary/Abstract: The paper presents a design of equipment for the usage of low-potential heat collected from rock in a deep borehole by means of heat pipes (HP) and a description of its realization. The borehole model together with a CFD simulation of heat transfer from rock to a soil probe enabled dimensioning of a heat exchanger on the condenser part of the heat pipe and choice of a suitable heat pipe charge. Part of the paper deals with the processing of measurement results gathered from the comparative experimental equipment requiring forced and unforced circulation(heat pipe) of the working substance on the primary side of the heat pump.
