Geothermal Response Test
Geothermal response test on an already installed borehole heat exchanger (BHE):
- connecting the measuring device to the prepared BHE and removing the air from the system
- starting the test
- test duration: approximately 48 hours
- disconnecting the measuring device from the BHE
- taking 4 recordings of the temperature profile for the whole depth:
one before the test, followed by 1, 2 and 3 hours after the test has finished
Evaluation of the test results with the GeRT-CAL-2-0-10 software]
- determining the thermal conductivity [] of the soil
- determining the borehole thermal resistance
- evaluating and interpreting the temperature profile with depth
