Thermal response test : in situ measurements of thermal properties in hard rock
- 1998

Licentiate thesis (other academic/artistic)abstract
- In-situ determination of thermal properties in bedrock is important for the sizing of larger BTES systems. In-situ values of thermal conductivity may reduce required borehole length up to 30%. This thesis treats a new mobile thermal response test equipment (TED), developed in Luleå, Sweden, 1995-98. TED is set up on a small trailer, and is tried out on groundwater filled boreholes, fitted with single and double U-loop piping. It has been used at several commercial borehole direct cooling systems for telephone switching stations in Sweden, and on test-holes in a well documented closed down heat store in Luleå. The response tests show good accuracy and reliability of the measured thermal conductivity and thermal resistance provided good insulation of the equipment. The tests take into account the interaction of the bedrock with the duct piping and filling, the borehole geometry and groundwater and is a valuable tool for pre-investigations for BTES.

Thermal response tests of boreholes : results from in situ measurements
- 1998
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- During the last year thermal response tests of boreholes in rock were carried out with a mobile test equipment (TED) in several duct stores for heating and/or cooling. Most of the tests were made for the Swedish telephone company TELIA that is constructing a great number of direct cooling systems for their telephone switching stations. The size of these duct systems in the different plants tested, varies from 4 to 60 boreholes, drilled in hard rock - mostly granite and gneiss. This paper summarises results and experience from the measurements.
