Application and development of ground source heat pump technology in China

Assessment and Deployment of Ground Source Heat Pump for Air Pollution Reduction in Tehran, Iran

The use of renewable energies, especially in metropolises has led to a reduction in environmental pollution and greater access to clean, renewable and sustainable energy. This paper evaluates the effectiveness of a national plan adopted by the Tehran city council for reducing air pollutions. This plan is designed to increase the share of renewable energies in residential buildings. This study a...

Heat exchanger technology and applications: ground source heat pump system for buildings heating and cooling

The earth’s surface acts as a huge solar collector, absorbing radiation from the sun. In the UK, the ground maintains a constant temperature of 11-13oC several metres below the surface all the year around.1 Among many other alternative energy resources and new potential technologies, the ground source heat pumps (GSHPs) are receiving increasing interest because of their potential to reduce prim...

Research on Ground Source Heat Pump Design

One of world’s largest uses of energy is the heating and cooling of buildings. Ground Source Heat Pumps (GSHP) provide a more energy efficient way to meet building energy needs than conventional alternatives. At a relatively shallow depth, the ground temperature is nearly constant year round providing a reliable heat source or sink for the operation of a heat pump. The design of such systems is...

Ground Source Heat Pump System: A Review of Current Status in China

This paper discusses the research and the state-of-art practices on ground source heat pump systems (GSHP) in China. It introduces the Chinese patents on GSHP. The GSHP development policies of China, including incentive mechanism, relevant codes and regulations, are also introduced. In addition, this paper discusses and summarizes the shortages and imperfects of the current research of the GSHP...
