Abstract
Although medium and deep ground source heat pump system are more advantageous for heating compared to other heat pump systems in winter, there has been limited researches on medium and deep ground source heat pump system in a cold and arid region. In order to study the heating performance of the system and address heating issues in a cold and arid region, the experimental tests were conducted from November 1, 2021, to March 31, 2022, and the results showed that the heating system operates stably, maintaining indoor heating above 18 °C throughout the day. The average coefficient of performance (COP) is 5.67, and the cumulative power consumption is 185971 kWh. Additionally, this study established a new three-dimensional numerical model of a medium and deep borehole heat exchanger (MDBHE) and validated it with experimental test results. The numerical simulation analyzed the impact of different insulation layers, well diameters, flow rate and well depths on the heat pump performance and heating effectiveness. This experimental research and numerical simulation are significant to promote the development of low-carbon as soon as possible.
期刊介绍:
Case Studies in Thermal Engineering provides a forum for the rapid publication of short, structured Case Studies in Thermal Engineering and related Short Communications. It provides an essential compendium of case studies for researchers and practitioners in the field of thermal engineering and others who are interested in aspects of thermal engineering cases that could affect other engineering processes. The journal not only publishes new and novel case studies, but also provides a forum for the publication of high quality descriptions of classic thermal engineering problems. The scope of the journal includes case studies of thermal engineering problems in components, devices and systems using existing experimental and numerical techniques in the areas of mechanical, aerospace, chemical, medical, thermal management for electronics, heat exchangers, regeneration, solar thermal energy, thermal storage, building energy conservation, and power generation. Case studies of thermal problems in other areas will also be considered.
