These TRT tests were performed after the installations were already completed to verify ground loop performance
In order to influence the ground loop sizing it would be desirable to make an in-situ TRT before the detailed design

Planning of drilling and TRT test Allow 3-5 days between end of drilling and start of TRT test Allow for initial period with only circulation (no heat input) Test duration at least 50 hours Avoid drilling activities in the vicinity Measure vertical temperature profile before and after test
Number of boreholes to test For large projects sometimes several test boreholes drilled
and number of TRT chosen depending on variability of geology
Borehole heat exchanger depth and design Should be similar to chosen design
Heat injection rate and heat carrier flow rate Should be similar to expected load conditions

period with only circulation of heat carrier fluid “Undisturbed” ground temperature profile may be disturbed by
heat flow from buildings, paved areas and tunnels (and changes in local climate) Interpreting vertical variations in thermal conductivity by
using the profile may be difficult Measuring vertical temperature profile before and after the TRT
may indicate zones of groundwater flow and/or layers with differing thermal conductivity
