Software
The GeoCube comes with a complete and user-friendly data analysis software package.
The GeoCube outputs TC test data into a file that readily is imported into the included PC-based software. With an on-site laptop, data analysis can be performed immediately after completing the TC test.
The software provides for maximum data flexibility in the data analysis process. It not only calculates soil property results and borehole thermal resistances but also analyzes the data for consistency and quality.
The software can recognize significant data aberrations (such as a fluctuating power supply, the presence of groundwater contamination, etc.) and provide this information to the user. In addition, it is a straightforward process to analyze the data over different time frames (10-40 hours, 20-40 hours, etc), which is quite useful when a test specification requires an analysis across time frames.
The software outputs a customizable, full professional report that includes multiple color graphs. Project data, user/company information and company logos may be customized for each test project.
Industry Standard Output
Our TC Software utilizes line source theory to analyze data and provides results that are compliant to ASHRAE Standard 111-8TRP.
What is a TC Test?
A TC test is a quantitative technique for calculating the soil thermal properties necessary for designing an efficient ground source heat pump system. Typically, they are performed when designing vertical heat exchangers for commercial geothermal projects.
With the right equipment and software data analysis tools, TC tests are straightforward to perform. A TC test provides invaluable information to accurately and economically design a loopfield.
