Summary

EES software was used to simulate the flow of refrigerant and oil underground U-tube of the direct expansion ground source heat pump. The results show that: the pressure of refrigerant/oil mixture first increases and then decreases along the U-tube; the temperature of refrigerant/oil mixture increases firstly and then decreases, in superheat region, the temperature rises sharply; the refrigerant/oil mixture exists in U-tube mainly as annular flow; the minimum refrigerant/oil return velocity is increasing when the U-tube of the experimental system can return normally.
