Fast and Accurate Calculation of the Soil Temperature Distribution Around Ground Heat Exchanger Based on a Response Factor Model

Abstract

Ground heat exchanger (GHE) is an important component of ground coupled heat pump system (GCHP

A comprehensive study of geothermal heating and cooling systems

“…As mentioned in this section, ground heat exchangers affect the underground temperature distribution. In order to calculate it, three methods are proposed so far, which are: the analytical and numerical solutions and the g-function model [138]. Each solution has its own pros and cons; thus, choosing the right one considering the problem conditions is vital.…”
