EXPERIMENTAL EVALUATION OF 3 GROUND-COUPLED HEAT PUMP SYSTEMS.

Summary

EXPERIMENTAL PERFORMANCE DATA ARE PRESENTED FOR THE WELL, PEBBLE-BED, AND SURFACE-TANK CONFIGURATIONS OF GROUND-COUPLING. RESULTS ARE ANALYZED IN TERMS OF HOURLY, DAILY, AND SEASONAL OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS. COMPARED TO A CONVENTIONAL AIR-SOURCE HEAT PUMP, THE GROUND-COUPLED SYSTEMS HAVE HIGHER COP AND ARE BETTER ABLE TO MAINTAIN CAPACITY DURING AMBIENT EXTREMES.
