The importance of investigating and addressing climate change, through the use of
renewable energy, is substantially increasing. Shallow geothermal energy is usually a …

Accurate estimation of thermal ground properties is needed to optimally apply shallow
geothermal energy technologies, which are of growing importance for the heating and …

Borehole heat exchangers (BHEs) are often used to harvest geothermal energy at shallower
depths. The standard increase in temperature with depth is generally ignored. Without high …

Few deep wells have been drilled in the Cheshire Basin, resulting in high geological and
financial risk of geothermal developments. Although the geothermal gradient in the basin …

Vertical borehole heat exchangers are often coupled to heat pumps to transfer heat between
the ground and the inside of a building. A transient heat transfer model has been developed …

Distributed thermal response tests (DTRTs) on vertical boreholes estimate design
parameters, which are used in the coupling of these boreholes to heat pumps. A semi …

Ground source heat pumps are often coupled with vertical boreholes in order to heat and
cool buildings. As the maximum depth of boreholes has increased, the ranges of …

Ground source heat pump systems are often coupled to the ground by circulating a fluid
through vertical Borehole Heat Exchangers (BHEs). The design of a system requires …

In this study, the historical and technical development and the current status of distributed
(DTRT) and enhanced (ETRT) thermal response tests (TRT) are reviewed. The different test …

To describe the heat transfer processes of medium-depth downhole coaxial heat
exchangers (MDCHEs) effectively, an analytical solution that couples the transient heat …
