Software

The GeoCube comes with a complete and user-friendly data analysis software package.

The GeoCube outputs TC test data into a file that readily is imported into the included PC-based software. With an on-site laptop, data analysis can be performed immediately after completing the TC test.

The software provides for maximum data flexibility in the data analysis process. It not only calculates soil property results and borehole thermal resistances but also analyzes the data for consistency and quality.

The software can recognize significant data aberrations (such as a fluctuating power supply, the presence of groundwater contamination, etc.) and provide this information to the user. In addition, it is a straightforward process to analyze the data over different time frames (10-40 hours, 20-40 hours, etc), which is quite useful when a test specification requires an analysis across time frames.

The software outputs a customizable, full professional report that includes multiple color graphs.  Project data, user/company information and company logos may be customized for each test project.

Industry Standard Output

Our TC Software utilizes line source theory to analyze data and provides results that are compliant to ASHRAE Standard 111-8TRP.

The Results Panel both displays the empirically-derived thermal conductivity and borehole thermal resistance results as well as analyzes the overall data quality based off of user-defined threshold values. Users can easily adjust the calculation interval and determine the optimal time period for a particular test.



The program automatically graphs the data necessary to determine the conductivity as well as power and flow rates. The program graphs both the raw data and the calculated curves, enabling designers to determine which analysis time period is optimal for each test.



In the bore panel, users enter info related to the borehole and drilling method.



In this panel, users can view the GeoCube's flow-pressure coefficients.



In the diffusivity panel, users can estimate and calculate the thermal diffusivity.



In the Information Panel, users enter project-specific information that is included in the professional reports.
