H-13 Study on Prediction of Performance of Geo-HP System : Annual Simulation Study Including of Characteristic for Horizontal Earth Pipe Heat Exchanger and Heat Pump

Abstract

This study deals with the performance of Geo-Heat pump system which utilizes the underground soil as the heat sink or heat source. Geo-Heat pump system is composed of heat pump and earth pipe heat exchangers. And, the performance of earth pipe heat exchanger and heat pump influences each other. So, it is necessary that the consideration of both. Therefore, in this paper, the simulation of Geo-heat pump system was conducted with considering the performance of heat pump and earth pipe heat exchanger in order to introduce the system into a building in Osaka.
