Thermal Interference

In order to analyze the influence of groundwater flow on ground heat exchangers with different arrangements, with a project in Nanjing the access temperature field in the multi-borehole field was simulated after the ground source heat pump system had been performed for a year. Simulation results show that the access temperature is higher in the ground surrounding the borehole than the center of the corresponding borehole, thus forming a thermal barrier surrounding the borehole. Groundwater flow helps relieve temperature imbalance owing to the imbalance of heating and cooling load. The performance of the ground heat exchangers is better in staggered arrangement than in aligned arrangement. In the borehole field, the boreholes upstream have thermal interference on those downstream. And the extent of thermal interference depends on the direction of the groundwater flow when the locations of the boreholes are fixed in the borehole field.

Feasibility of a ground source heat pump (GSHP) system with pile heat exchangers for use in houses is evaluated through a numerical simulation. This GSHP system differs from ordinary borehole-type GSHP systems because short foundation piles installed at close intervals are used as heat exchangers. It is shown that the annual heat supply provided by this GSHP system is able to satisfy the demand of a house due to the air-source exchange at ground surface.

Cold Area

Experiment of a ground source heat pump system in cold area is studied in this paper. The results indicate that when the operation time increases to 100 hours, COPHP (COP of the heat pump) and COPSYS (COP of the system) decrease from 3.54 and 2.63 to 2.53 and 1.92, respectively. The average values of COPHP and COPSYS are 3.1 and 2.3, respectively. COPHP and COPSYS with 2 compressors at work are 11% and 12.2% higher than COPHP and COPSYS with 4 compressors at work, respectively. The average COPSYS with inverters is 6.42% higher than the COPSYS without inverters.
