Thermal Response Testing of Large Diameter Energy Piles
Energy piles are a novel form of ground heat exchanger (GHE) used in ground source heat pump systems. However, characterizing the pile and ground thermal properties is more challenging than for traditional GHEs. Routine in-situ thermal response testing (TRT) methods assume that steady state conditio...
