Thermal Conductivity Tests from Geoenergy Solutions

Geoenergy Solutions offers drilling services to install geothermal heating and cooling systems. The company provides installation services for installing U-loops for geothermal energy systems, designing and drilling services. CSA and ASHRAE standard procedures are followed for geothermal installations. The company uses CSA approved geothermal loop in the geothermal system installation. Thermal conductivity tests are also undertaken by the company to determine the exact size of the geothermal heating and cooling system to be installed at the particular site.

Geoenergy Solutions conduct thermal conductivity tests to design a geothermal ground-loop heat exchanger. The thermal conductivity test is also conducted to find out how the heat moves the fluid in the ground loop. The test helps to assess the specific thermal conductivity at the particular site. The thermal conductivity value derived from the test can help to design a ground-heat exchanger. The test result also helps to calculate the cost for installation.

The company installs the testing equipment to conduct the thermal conductivity test. After conducting a complete 48 hours test, the company removes the test equipment from the site. The company prepares graphs and reports based on the data collected with the thermal conductivity test. Geoenergy Solutions uses the portable thermal conductivity nit available from Ewbank & Associates.
