Summary

To improve the efficiency of air/water heat pumps for the heating of typical one-family houses the air is pre-heated in an arrangement of concrete tubes embedded in the earth. In the paper, a simulation of the transient thermal behaviour of such earth-collector systems is described using the finite element method.
