Low-potencial Earth thermalEnergy Utilization in Heat Pump Systems [PDF]

Acta Montanistica Slovaca, 2006
The underground in the first approx. 100 m is well suited for supply and storage of thermal energy. The climatic temperature change over the seasons is reduced to a steady temperature at 10-20 m. With further depth, the temperatures increase according to

Thermal Performance Analyses of Multiborehole Ground Heat Exchangers

Geofluids, 2017
Geothermal energy known as a clean, renewable energy resource is widely available and reliable. Ground heat exchangers (GHEs) can assist the development of geothermal energy by reducing the capital cost and greenhouse gas emission. In this paper, a novel

Određivanje optimalne veličine vertikalnog izmjenjivača topline u tlu [PDF]

, 2009
The heat pumps coupled to the borehole heat exchangers (BHE) can serve for heating and/or cooling of buildings. Optimal sizing of BHE is important because of high drilling costs and importance of matching borehole thermal capacity with the capacity of ...

Application potential of ground-coupled heat pumps for multi-storey office buildings in Hong Kong [PDF]

, 2011
In this paper, the application potential of ground-coupled heat pumps (GCHP) in a multi-storey office building in Hong Kong was investigated. It was found that within the limited land area occupied by the building, the GCHP could only handle the cooling ...

IMPACT OF GEOTHERMAL GRADIENT ON GROUND SOURCE HEAT PUMP SYSTEM MODELING

Rudarsko-geološko-naftni Zbornik, 2014
ndisturbed ground temperature is one of the most crucial thermogeological parameters needed for shallow geothermal resources assessment. Energy considered to be geothermal is energy stored in the ground at depths where solar radiation has no effect.

Assessing the applicability of thermal response testing to energy piles

, 2014
Deep foundations are increasingly being used, not just to carry structural loads, but also to act as heat exchangers as part of a ground source heat pump system.
