Abstract:Field thermal response tests is the main method to obtain thermal physical parameters of rock and soil. It can provide basic data for buried tube heat exchanger type and length of the heat exchanger in the test plant ground source heat pump project , and the evaluation and utilization of shallow geothermal energy. In this paper, the field thermal response test purpose, experimental device, principle, content and steps and data processing method have been introduced. Setting thermal response test in Chiping area of Shandong province as an example, experimental process, analysis and application of test data have been introduced. It is determined that the heat exchange of unit nice is the best when the drilling distance is 4~5m. By using the nonsteadystate numerical model, it is calculated that the heat exchange capacity of the unit rice in winter is 29.4W/m, and the heat exchange in summer is 41.3W/m.
