摘要:
The ground heat exchanger is an important component of the ground coupled heat pump (GCHP) and the U-tube is most commonly used ground heat exchanger. The heat transfer between the U-tube and the soil is affected by many factors. To analyze the influence of these factors on the heat transfer of the U-tube, this paper built a full scale 3D numerical model of a U-tube ground heat exchanger of a ground coupled heat pump (GCHP). Then numerical studies on the influence of various factors such as U-tube depth, inlet temperature, fluid velocity on the heat transfer of the U-tube were carried out using CFD software FLUENT. The computed influence on the heat transfer can provide some insight to the optimization design.
