In Each Other's Cold

Seven heating seasons of fibre-optic temperature profiles in a 24-borehole heat-pump field crossed by groundwater flow

A research poster from the School of Underlying Conditions follows a 24-borehole ground-source heat pump field through seven winters of heating a community pool, with fibre-optic temperature profiles in one borehole per row, and finds that groundwater flowing along the rows carries each row's cold to the next. The downgradient row ends the seventh season 2.5 K colder than the first; the upgradient row, 0.3 K.
