Development of an in-situ system and analysis procedure for measuring ground thermal properties.

Summary

The ground thermal properties strongly influence the initial cost to install a GSHP system. In order to be able to predict ground thermal properties, an experimental apparatus has been built capable of imposing a heat flux on a test borehole and measuring its temperature response. Parameter estimation techniques in conjunction with a two-dimensional numerical model are used to determine the thermal conductivity of the surrounding ground. Independent measurements of the soil conductivity test results are reported.
