Nanocomposite materials used for ground heat exchanger pipes
(International Ground Source Heat Pump Association, 2017)
This study compares the performance of single U-pipe, double U-pipe, and coaxial ground heat exchangers (GHE) equipped with standard HDPE and thermally enhanced (TE) pipes. Sizing calculations and 10-year hourly simulations ...
Measurement of internal and effective borehole resistances during thermal response tests
(International Ground Source Heat Pump Association, 2017)
In a conventional thermal response test (TRT), the main parameter evaluated is the bulk subsurface thermal conductivity surrounding the borehole. It is also possible to evaluate the borehole thermal resistance. Several ...
