Regional application of ground source heat pump in China: A case of Shenyang

An emergy-based hybrid method for assessing industrial symbiosis of an industrial park

“…GSHP has been widely promoted in the Northeast China and has generated significant economic and environmental benefits. For instance, a case study in Shenyang helped reduce 3.4 million tons CO 2 emissions, 3781.5 tons of SO 2 emissions, and 2775 NOx emissions during 2006e2010, leading to significant co-benefits (Geng et al, 2013b). Since Shenyang is the capital of Liaoning and is close to Dalian (less than 400 km), it is necessary for the DEDA management to send their technique delegation to Shenyang to learn their experiences on promoting GSHP.…”

Emergy-based assessment on the brownfield redevelopment of one old industrial area: a case of Tiexi in China

“…Particularly, Shenyang municipal government was chosen by the Ministry of Housing and Construction as one national demonstration city on promoting ground source heat pump, a typical application of geo-thermal energy. With preferable policies and adequate subsidies, over 5000 communities in Shenyang began to utilize ground source heat pump for heat service, leading to a total CO 2 reduction of 3.4 million tons during 2006e2010 (Geng et al, 2013b). However, fewer projects locate in Tiexi old industrial area.…”

Hybrid ground source absorption heat pump in cold regions: Thermal balance keeping and borehole number reduction

“…It may be more practically reasonable to improve energy efficiency and reduce the pollutant emission of the present heating systems, rather than completely replace them with other heating systems attached with new problems. (2) The imbalance between heat extraction and heat rejection will lead to the cold accumulation in heating-dominated buildings [8,9] or heat accumulation in cooling-dominated buildings [10,11]. Cold accumulation is very common in cold regions; the soil temperature will gradually decrease after long-term operation, since the temperature recovery ability of soil is limited, which finally leads to the deterioration of heating performance [12].…”
