Abstract:A ground heat exchanger (GHE) can efficiently exploit geothermal energy, and a ground source heat pump (GSHP) is an important type of geothermal application. The distributed thermal response test (DTRT) is widely used to measure layered ground thermal properties for shallow GHEs, but nowadays, there is a lack of studies applying the DTRT to deep coaxial GHEs (DCGHEs). This study proposes a new parameter estimation method (PEM) by adopting the DTRT data of a DCGHE to estimate layered ground thermal properties a… Show more
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.
