Abstract:A ground source heat pump system (GSHP) utilizing the foundation piles as heat exchangers is expected to reduce the initial cost compared with the borehole type of the conventional system because the heat exchanger piles is not needed to install anew. However, the arrangement of the piles is depend on the floor layout of a residence. Therefore, the thermal performance prediction of heat exchange piles has to strictly conduct threedimensional analysis for every residence. Conducting such analysis, it is a heavy… 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.
