Simulation and Optimization of Ground Source Heat Pump Systems

Ground-source Heat Pump Systems the European Experience

Ground-source heat pumps play a key role in geothermal development in Central and Northern Europe. With borehole heat exchangers as heat source, they offer de-central geothermal heating at virtually any location, with great flexibility to meet given demands. In the vast majority of systems, no space cooling is included, leaving ground-source heat pumps with some economic constraints. Neverthele...

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...

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...

Literature Review on the Calculation of Vertical Ground Heat Exchangers for Geothermal Heat Pump Systems

The calculation of Ground Heat Exchanger (GHE) performance is very important for predicting the performance and estimating the initial cost of geothermal heat pump systems. In North America it is estimated that on average GHE are oversized by about 10% ~ 30%. A vertical Ground Heat Exchanger (VGHE) is most common because of its smaller environmental influence and land field requirement. This pa...
