How to design process of vertical ground loop structure (guidance is based on vertical ground loop collector system)?
• 1. Confirm the cooling/heating load of the building • 2. On–site geologic condition reconnaissance • 3. Analyze and compare to confirm the cooling /heating type • 4. Confirm the type of heat exchanger according the on–site geologic reconnaissance result • 5. Confirm the diameter and the total length of the underground pipe heat exchanger • 6. Confirm the number and length of the loop • 7. Calculate the pipe system pressure loss to select brine pump • 8. Check the pressure loading capacity of the pipe • 9.
