Abstract
By profiling the natural temperature of borehole heat exchangers it is possible to determine the thermal conductivity λ of the ground using Fourier’s law. However, analyses of borehole temperature profiles lead to the conclusion that the profiles differ from the theoretical data. The causes are many, including urban infrastructure leading to ground temperature profiles being heavily distorted. Among factors impacting ground temperature profiles are: buildings, roads, heat pipelines, water pipelines, and sewers. Ground temperature profiles influenced by urban infrastructure are not valid for determining ground thermal conductivity. The aim of the work is to analyze factors influencing temperature logging changes in borehole heat exchangers and their suitability for determining ground thermal conductivity. Based on the temperature logging, the depth of periodic heat penetration is assessed and is compared with the value determined on the basis of the map. It is found that the natural temperature profiles in borehole heat exchangers are only partially suitable for the analysis of the thermal conductivity of rocks.
