The rock soil thermal conductivity is the most important design parameter for the ground source heat pump system. Based on the equation applied for the heat transfer between the geothermal heat exchanger and its surrounding rock soil, a quasi-three dimensional heat conduction model showing the heat transfer inside the borehole of the U-tube was established to determine the thermal conductivity of the deep-layer rock soil. The results obtained show that the average thermal conductivity got through calculation and actual determination in a tube-embedding region of the ground source heat pump engineering were 1.895 and 1.955W/(m·°C), respectively. The soil layer, which has a great thermal conductivity and a strong integrated heat transfer capability, is suitable for the use of the ground source heat pump system with the tubes embedded underground. The soil layer, with a body temperature of 19 °C and a higher initial temperature, is suitable for the heat extraction from underground in winter. The deviation between the calculation and the determination of the average thermal conductivity in the abovementioned region was 0.06, which could meet the required precision, indicating that the results from the calculation could be used for design.

Shallow subsurface geological structure mapping combined with ground effective thermal conductivity values at the basin scale provide an appropriate method to evaluate the installation potential of ground-source heat pump systems. This study analyzed the geological structure of the Aizu Basin (Northeast Japan) using sedimentary cores and boring log and mapped the distribution of average ground effective thermal conductivity in the range from −10 m to −100 m depth calculated from cores and logs. Gravel layers dominate in alluvial fans of the northern and southern basin areas, which are found to be associated with higher average ground effective thermal conductivity values, 1.3–1.4 W/m/K, while central and western floodplain areas show lower values of 1.0–1.3 W/m/K due to the existence of thick mud layers in the shallow subsurface. The results indicate that the conventional closed-loop systems are more feasible in northern and southern basin areas than in the central and western areas. Evaluation for the installation potential of the ground-source heat pump systems using depth-based distribution maps of average ground effective thermal conductivity is the originality of this study. This approach is valuable and proper for the simple assessment of the system installation in different sedimentary plains and basins in Japan and other countries.
