By the three-dimensional model of heat transfer in the system "ground - horizontal ground heat exchanger - heat transfer agent", an analysis of the efficiency of the horizontal multi-loop heat exchanger, which is an element of the heat pump system, was carried out. Based on the results of numerical simulation, the time dependence of the heat transfer agent temperature at the outlet from the ground heat exchanger and the amount of heat extracted from the ground is determined. The results of calculations by the presented model are satisfactorily agree with the experimental data.
This article is devoted to the analysis of the heat engineering characteristics of the operation of an Earth-to-Air Heat Exchanger, EAHE, with a circular cross-sectional shape, which is a component of the geothermal ventilation system. The authors analyzed literature sources devoted to the research of heat exchangers of the soil-air type of various designs and for working conditions in various soils. Much attention is paid to the issues of modeling the operation of such heat exchangers and the distinctive features of each of these models. Also important are the results of experimental studies carried out on our own experimental bench and with the help of which the numerical model was validated. The results of these studies are the basis for the development of a method for determining the optimal diameter of an EAHE under operating conditions for soil in Kyiv, Ukraine.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
