Sources for
pipe data include The Handbook of PE Pipe (Plastic Pipe
Institute), 2005
ASHRAE Fundamentals Handbook, and
engineeringtoolbox.com. Antifreeze density, specific gravity, viscosity, and
freeze protection data come from Ground Source
Heat Pump Residential and Light Commercial Design and Installation Guide (2009) and Closed-Loop/Ground
Source Heat Pump Systems Installation Guide (1988)
with validating sources from Perry's Chemical
Engineers' Handbook 8th Edition, 2005 ASHRAE Fundamentals Handbook, Mechanics of Fluids textbook, and
Dow Chemical online documentation. Water treatment is based upon Fernox
published data.
