Check whether there is a leak during the water injection process, if not, wrap the exposed part with rubber insulation, and wrap it with tape to isolate the influence of atmospheric temperature on the test.

[0041] If there is no bubble in the water injection bucket 9 during the water injection process, start the circulating pump 3, and bubbles will come out of the water injection bucket 9, repeat the above operation to discharge the bubbles in the system.

[0042] After the exhaust is completed, continue to open the circulating pump 3, and set the data storage time interval of the configuration screen 6, at this time the "flow" item in the test interface on the configuration screen 6 should have a value, otherwise it means that the exhaust is not complete. Record the initial temperature of the soil, after 120 minutes, open the heater 4, the heater 4 has a total of 6 1P switch control, each switch represents 1.25kW, the opening power is determined according to the drilling depth.

[0043] When the field test is completed, first close the switch of the heater 4, circulate for 10 minutes, let the heater 4 cool down, then close the switch of the circulating pump 3, and then protect the heater 4. Then cut off the connection between the tester and the buried pipe 8.
