A vertical U-tube ground heat exchanger can be utilized to exchange heat with the soil in ground source heat pump systems. The outlet temperature of the working fluid through the U-tube not only accounts for heat transfer capacity of a ground heat exchanger, but also greatly affects the operational efficiency of heat pump units, which is an important characteristic parameter of heat transfer process. It is quantified by defining a thermal effectiveness coefficient. The performance evaluation is performed with a three dimensional numerical model using a finite volume technique. A dynamic simulation was conducted to analyze the thermal effectiveness as a function of soil thermal properties, backfill material properties, separation distance between the two tube legs, borehole depth and flow velocity of the working fluid. The influence of important characteristic parameters on the heat transfer performance of vertical U-tube ground heat exchangers is investigated, which may provide the references for the design of ground source heat pump systems in practice.

There are many ground source heat pumps in engineering construction application. However, Research on heat exchanger models of single-hole buried vertical ground source heat pump mostly focuses on single U-tube ground heat exchangers other than double U-tube ones in China currently. Compared with single U-tubes, double U-tubes have the heat transfer particularity of asymmetry. Therefore, the use of the traditional single tube models would have large error in the simulation of the actual double U-tube heat exchangers. This paper frames a three-dimensional heat transfer model for the vertical single-hole buried double u-tube heat exchanger in a ground source heat pump system. The model considers the performance of U-bube material and uses a dual coordinate system and makes the control elemental volumes superimposed.

This study analyze the actual operation performance and energy efficiency of thirty-nine ground source heat pump (GSHP) systems based on site tests in Wuhan, China. These systems include ground couple heat pump (GCHP) systems, ground water heat pump (GWHP) systems and hybrid ground source heat pump (HGSHP) systems. The results show that energy-saving rates reach 30% for most of the systems using method recommended by Assessment Guideline. The coefficient of performance (COP) of the systems varies as follow: 2.6-4.85 for GCHP systems; 2.58-3.74 for GWHP systems; 2.66-5.67 for combined heat pump systems. According to the test results and system design data, analyses the factors affecting the system performance of three types of ground source heat pump systems.
