Part 4 Certification Program for GeoExchange Designers

Certification Program for GeoExchange Designers Part 4. Dr Jim Bose, Ph.D., P.E. Introduction to CDG course. IGSHPA has designed a program to offer advanced training towards certification as a GeoExchange Designer (CGD). From an introduction to the technology to a complete review of the design process, participants learn the specific information they need to know. IGSHPA has entered into a cooperative endeavor with the Association of Energy Engineers (AEE) and the Geothermal Heat Pump Consortium (GHPC) to provide training for the Certified GeoExchange Designer Program. Participants will receive a copy of the Closed-Loop/ Ground-Source Heat Pump Systems Installation Guide, as well as other manuals in the CGD Notebook.

Wow 55 degree for a 300 ft vertical bore hole.

How deep of a ditch would a closed loop horizontal system need to be to chill the water to 55 degrees Fahrenheit? 10? 15?

Location: Palm Springs, ca

Climate: Desert, 120+ degrees in the summer.

Tap water: comes out at 71 degrees. From the water tower to the street water is delivered 4' to 6' underground. The last 100' on my property is only about 1' underground. I would be interesting in cooling the water down to 55 degrees.

in 1996 at a ut'y and national training

"180 ft per ton, and they lope along"

(52-54 deg Earth loops vertical bores/ 300 ft'rs

And today we still see in 2008 that it was 205 to 210 ft in a static-wet borehole (waters within 30-40ft of surface)
