Design and development of a low-cost thermal response rig

Hemmingway, Phil ; Long, Michael (Michael M.) (Institution of Civil Engineers, 2012-08-01)

A thermal response test (TRT) is a controlled insitu test during which a known quantity of heat energy is injected into a closed loop heat-exchanger pipe while the heat dissipation rate into the surrounding ground is ...
Thermal response testing of compromised borehole heat exchangers

Hemmingway, Phil ; Long, Michael (Michael M.) (Oxford University Press, 2012-03-19)

The results of five thermal response tests (TRTs) are presented. Three of the tests were carried out consecutively on the same borehole to illustrate the importance of allowing artificially imposed thermal gradients to ...
