Thermal Conductivity Tests
- 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 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.
