Looking to use your design software
effectively to design geothermal loopfields and piping suystems?
This new series of ~3 hour online design workshops teaches you
about different phases of the geothermal design and
simulation process. Each session, a different part of
the design and planning process is a new focus.
After each workshop, students can work to their own pace to apply
what they have learned.
-
Session
1: Focuses on the loopfield design process
and how to effectively match the mechanical
system to the loopfield. Design the
system to take advantage of the available
geology and real estate.
-
Session
2: Is dedicated to piping and how
to design a headering and loopfield piping
system with optimal flows that can be
effectively purged and achieves oncentrates on fluid dynamics and optimizing the system
piping.
-
Session
3: Student projects and real world
examples are developed utilizing the
processes that were covered in the first two
workshops.
Designing and
verification will use heavy software simulation
and students need a laptop computer and broadband connection for
the hands-on design tool training lab using the
Ground
Loop Design (GLD) software.
