Analysis and research on the performance of the ground source heat pump system in different areas of China

摘要

In the paper, it is to describe the performance of the vertical ground heat exchangers (GHE) in different areas of China. The energy consumption of ground source heat pump (GSHP) system is based on the instantaneous fluid temperature at the heat pump inlet. This temperature defines the GSHP coefficient of performance and hence the electricity consumption required in order to fulfill the energy demands of the building. A mathematical model for simulation of vertical ground heat exchanger system is built based on long time-step theory. The design methodology is based on a simulation that predicts the temperature response of the ground heat exchanger to hourly heating and cooling loads demand in 20 years. This paper presents GSHP system can achieve energy performance in buildings that heating and cooling loads all the year round in different areas.
