SIMULATION OF VERTICAL U-TUBE GROUND-COUPLED HEAT PUMP SYSTEMS USING THE CYLINDRICAL HEAT SOURCE SOLUTION.

Author(s) : DEERMAN J. D., KAVANAUGH S. P.

Summary

AIR-SOURCE HEAT PUMPS ARE CURRENTLY THE MOST POPULAR HEAT PUMP USED IN RESIDENTIAL APPLICATIONS ; HOWEVER, GROUND-COUPLED HEAT PUMP SYSTEMS ARE NOW BECOMING THE CHOICE OF MANY HOMEOWNERS. IT BECOMES VERY IMPORTANT TO PREDICT THE ENTERING WATER TEMPERATURE IN THE HEAT PUMP, TO COMPUTE CAPACITY AND OPERATING COST. THE PAPER DESCRIBES THE WAY TO FIND A MODEL GIVING THE THERMAL RESPONSE OF VERTICAL CLOSED-LOOP U-TUBE GROUND COUPLINGS. SIMULATION RESULTS ARE COMPARED WITH EXPERIMENTS.
