Design
-
Thermal Conductivity Testing is necessary to design a properly sized
geothermal ground-loop heat exchanger
- The thermal conductivity of the
ground indicates how easily heat moves to and from the fluid in the ground loop
- Inaccurate thermal conductivity estimates reduces system efficiency and
leads to higher installation and operating costs
Why is Thermal Conductivity Testing
Necessary?
- It is the only way to properly assess the site-specific thermal conductivity
of the earth which is essential to properly design a ground source
heat-exchanger
- Rather than estimating the thermal conductivity of the
earth, the test provides a precise thermal conductivity value
- It is
recommended by ASHRAE procedures
- It provides an accurate estimate of the
cost of installation
