http://blog.geoconnectionsinc.com/2014/03/is-it-really-undersized.html
READ WATCH. CONTRIBUTE. GROW. Is It REALLY Undersized? Friday, March 28, 2014. By, Doug Carruthers. In our article Warning: Graphic Geothermal Content. We explained how to read and use the then new ‘Zone Load and Operating Profile Graph’ for design and sales. At the end of the article we made note of the fact that understanding the distribution of energy as a percentage of bin hours within an operating mode was the tricky part for many new designers and homeowners. In his latest stroke of insight Ryan.

READ WATCH. CONTRIBUTE. GROW. 3 Things Ball State Taught Me In 1 Day. Monday, November 11, 2013. By, Ryan Carda. Last week, I had the pleasure of giving a presentation at the 1st annual Geothermal Conclave hosted by Ball State University. Going into it, I expected another day of business-as-usual - watch a handful of presentations, eat lunch and head home. I didn't expect to walk away excited about the project and re-energized about work going into the perennially slow winter season. Gave a featured pres...

READ WATCH. CONTRIBUTE. GROW. Monday, December 20, 2010. By, Doug Carruthers. If you made it here from the email we sent, then you have already heard about some of the key new features we brought into this update like Fixed Length Mode and the all new RaceTrack Configuration. So we will start this post with the list of less obvious improvements we have made to LoopLink over the past couple of months and then get into the details of the big additions. Commas in input fields are now allowed. We created a t...

GeoConnected: Shorter But Dominant?
http://blog.geoconnectionsinc.com/2013/10/shorter-but-dominant.html
READ WATCH. CONTRIBUTE. GROW. Friday, October 25, 2013. By, Doug Carruthers. When the temperature of the fluid entering the heat pump and the deep earth temperature (DET) get closer together, the amount of pipe needed to transfer heat increases. So, in some system designs, it is possible that the load dominant mode will require shorter loop lengths. Geothermal And Thermostats: Set It and Forget It!

GeoConnected: Warning: Graphic Geothermal Content
http://blog.geoconnectionsinc.com/2012/06/warning-graphic-geothermal-content.html
READ WATCH. CONTRIBUTE. GROW. Warning: Graphic Geothermal Content. Wednesday, June 20, 2012. By, Doug Carruthers. In our last major update. We introduced the Zone Load and Operating Profile Graph (the coolest graph ever). The Graph is a great tool for showing potential customers how their system is expected to operate after being installed and we thought it might be worth the time to walk everyone through the Graph, piece by piece, because there is a LOT going on. The output graph from LoopLink. The next...

GeoConnected: Geothermal And Thermostats: Set It and Forget It!
http://blog.geoconnectionsinc.com/2012/04/geothermal-and-thermostats-set-it-and.html
READ WATCH. CONTRIBUTE. GROW. Geothermal And Thermostats: Set It and Forget It! Monday, April 23, 2012. By, Ryan Carda. Many a thrifty homeowner has reasoned that it will require less energy (and therefore cost less) to adjust their thermostat settings when they are out of the house or sleeping. It makes sense that when they aren't in the home, there is no need to keep the temperature at the perfect 70°F so in the winter, they set it back to 60°F. In fact in 1995, the EPA. Set Point Temp (Heat). The trut...

READ WATCH. CONTRIBUTE. GROW. Wednesday, July 16, 2014. By, Doug Carruthers. Just when you thought LoopLink couldn't get any better. it does. In our latest update, we added tools to help estimate the thermal properties of the ground customized to the needs of the type of ground heat exchanger you are designing. Vertically and Horizontally Bored. The drill log you define can also be saved and included as part of your printed reports. There is a lot going on in the soil table for horizontally trenched ghex...
