Abstract:Field thermal response test is one of the main method to obtain thermal parameters of rock and soil. It can provide basic data for selecting type and length of ground heat exchanger instrument in heat pump project area of in testing ground source field, and evaluating shallow geothermal energy development and utilization. In this paper, task, test equipment, principles, contents, procedures and data processing method of field thermal test have been introduced comprehensively. Taking thermal response test in loose layers in south district of Yanzhou city in upper reach of in Wensi River Alluvial fan area as an example, hydrogeological conditions, test procedures, test data analysis and application of test field have been introduced.
