Commercial Installation
We are in the business of making our customers/dealers successful. Our dealers are joining a Team that has the tools they need for success. Dealers can provide us with accurate Heat Loss and Heat Gain Calculations, and we can size the equipment for them. The same goes for earth loop sizing and design. Also, we provide training and support, readily available inventory, quick credit on warranty parts, and much more. We have the total package of experience, support, and quick response to urgent needs. It is a winning combination.
Loop design and sizing is critical to ensure proper performance. An undersized loop will operate with high temperatures in cooling and low temperatures in heating. These extreme temperatures adversely affect both efficiency and output of the geothermal heat pumps, increasing operating costs. An oversized loop can add considerable and unnecessary expense to the project without providing any operational benefit. The key is to design the most cost effective loop that will operate at temperatures that maximize efficiency and output, and meet the entire heating and cooling requirements during extreme conditions-without being oversized. There are currently several software programs available to assist the designer in proper loop sizing.
In addition to design assistance, Indiana Geothermal can provide services to determine thermal conductivity of the local soil or subsurface rock. Using sophisticated technology that measures the amount and rates of heat movement, thermal conductivity is determined to optimize the design of the loop field to meet the local conditions before the first shovel of earth is turned.
Please Note:
- Indiana Geothermal does not perform manual J heat-loss calculations
- Indiana Geothermal does not do any duct design or sizing
