This page explains the slab data design options as well as offers examples to help designers take full advantage of the flexibility that GLD provides. SLAB DATA LAYOUT Overview Use this section to define the number of pipe lines and the total area and slab/insulation characteristics. Nomenclature: PIPE CONFIGURATION IN ENERGY SLAB EXAMPLES: Pattern The design calls for an wide 7 m times length 150 m is equal 1050 ㎡. The center-to-center pipe spacing is 0.3 m. Usually the pipe spacing is more than 0.3m intervals. Total depth of the Energy Slab is distance from the ground. The thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity of the slab and insulation are used. Usually modeling period is 20 years. Input data should look like this: Please see the full user manual (available for download through the HELP -> ABOUT RESOURCES link in the main program window) for more information about the Energy Slab module. |
