A model for simulating the performance of a shallow pond as a supplemental heat rejected with closed-loop ground-source heat pump systems.

Summary

Commercial buildings and institutions are generally cooling-dominated and therefore reject more heat than they extract over the annual cycle. In order to adequately dissipate the imbalanced annual loads, the required ground-loop heat exchanger lengths are significantly greater than the required length if the annual loads were balanced. This can eliminate the solution during the feasibility studies. A possibility is to use supplemental heat rejecters, as for example shallow ponds. The paper presents such a model.
