Part 4: Answers
In this chapter, you will find the answers to the questions in the different chapters of Part 4.
Hydraulic design of borefields in GHEtool
In the previous chapters, the concepts of pressure drop, pump power, and pump energy were introduced. In this chapter, these insights will be used to carry out our first hydraulic design in GHEtool Cloud.
Deepening insights in pressure drop, pump power and pump energy
In the previous chapter, the concept of pressure drop and its importance were explained. In this chapter, we will deepen our understanding of this concept, examine how the pressure drop evolves over time, and explore how the critical pressure drop can be defined. The concepts of pump power and pump energy will also be introduced.
Pressure drop
Borefields are often designed by considering only the thermal aspects, but the hydraulic counterpart is just as important for both system performance and feasibility. In this chapter, the concept of pressure drop, which is central to hydraulic design, will be explained.
