The thermal behaviour of three different auger pressure grouted piles used as heat exchangers [PDF]
Three auger pressure grouted (APG) test piles were constructed at a site in Richmond, Texas. The piles were each equipped with two U-loops of heat transfer pipes so that they could function as pile heat exchangers.

Heat balance of horizontal ground heat exchangers
This work refers to the modelling of heat transfer in horizontal ground heat exchangers. For different conditions of collecting heat from the ground and different boundary condition profiles of temperature in the ground were found, and temporal variations of heat flux transferred between the ground surface and its interior were determined. It was taken

Laboratory assessment of corrosion rate of carbon steel ground heat exchangers [PDF]
The materials used in the manufacture of geothermal heat exchangers for shallow geothermal applications play an important role in the overall system performance, especially if grout is not being used to seal the boreholes in which the heat exchanger is ...

Heat transfer characteristics of in-ground heat exchangers
Most in-ground heat storage installations use a system of horizontal or vertical plastic pipes to carry heat exchanger fluid. In designing these systems it is generally assumed that the thermal effects of the plastic pipe can be neglected. This paper reports a laboratory study of the pattern of heat flow around fluid-carrying plastic pipe buried in ...

Comparison of Earth-Air and Earth-Water Ground Tube Heat Exchangers for Residentialal Application [PDF]
Earth-air systems are already commonly applied as a passive technique to reduce the overall energy use of buildings by reducing the required cooling or heating demand. However, they often require large surface area for their installation, and make use of

A new modelling approach for piled and other ground heat exchanger applications [PDF]
Pile heat exchangers have an increasing role to play in the delivery of renewable heating and cooling energy. Traditionally the thermal design of ground heat exchangers has relied upon analytical approaches which take a relatively simple approach to the ...
