Abstract
A ground source heat pump with horizontal ground heat exchanger buried in water-bearing sandy soil was studied. The system was used to heat a public building near the sea in the cold area of China. The slinky heat exchanger was buried under the beach with the sandy soil containing seawater. The heat transfer capacity of soil and heat pump system heating effect were studied. The results showed that the ground source heat pump system with horizontal ground heat exchanger under the beach had a good heating effect. The freezing and flow of seawater in sandy soil were conducive to the stable supply of heat energy, which ensured continuous heating of heat pump system in winter without auxiliary heat sources. The average coefficient of performance of the system during the heating period was guaranteed to be 2.25. Besides that, this GSHP system with HGHE buried in water-bearing sandy soil had obvious economic advantages.
期刊介绍:
Geothermics is an international journal devoted to the research and development of geothermal energy. The International Board of Editors of Geothermics, which comprises specialists in the various aspects of geothermal resources, exploration and development, guarantees the balanced, comprehensive view of scientific and technological developments in this promising energy field.
It promulgates the state of the art and science of geothermal energy, its exploration and exploitation through a regular exchange of information from all parts of the world. The journal publishes articles dealing with the theory, exploration techniques and all aspects of the utilization of geothermal resources. Geothermics serves as the scientific house, or exchange medium, through which the growing community of geothermal specialists can provide and receive information.
