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 ...
Geothermal energy : settlement and water chemistry in Cork, Ireland

Hemmingway, Phil ; Long, Michael (Michael M.) (Institution of Engineers, 2011-07)

Detailed analysis of potential water chemistry and settlement issues associated with the installation of open-loop geothermal systems is infrequently carried out. This has led to the failure of several previously installed ...
Interpretation of In Situ and Laboratory Thermal Measurements Resulting in Accurate Thermogeological Characterisation

Hemmingway, Phil ; Long, Michael (Michael M.) (Taylor & Francis, 2012-09)

Growing worldwide interest in the exploitation of geothermal energy resources has led to a scenario where the technology routinely forms part of building-scale renewable energy feasibility studies. A thorough understanding ...
