size=2 face="Courier New"><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:10.0pt'>I would like to model an horizontal pipe array. Currently, I’m using the Type 556, “Horizontal Ground-Coupled Heat Exchanger” from the TESS libraries.<o:p></o:p></span></font></pre><pre><font

size=2 face="Courier New"><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:10.0pt'>When using this model, I can get to know the amount of heat transferred from the pipe to the ground. However, I can’t model the influence caused by other pipes placed close to it, I mean I can only study the performance of 1 pipe. But the fact is that the influence of the other pipes reduces the efficiency of the heat transfer and there is some difference when studying 8 pipes altogether than when studying 8 pipes isolated. <o:p></o:p></span></font></pre><pre><font

So, I guess if someone could help me with this, as most of the systems are constituted by parallel pipes.<o:p></o:p></span></font></pre><pre><font
