Motivated by the rapid spread of the novel pandemic disease (COVID-19) that swept the most countries in the world, a new radiation heating system consists of wall radiator panel system connected to a reversible geothermal heat pump (GHP) coupled with horizontal ground heat exchanger (HGHX) was proposed as fast and permanent solution to the risks of the dispersion of airborne infectious diseases in air-conditioned enclosed spaces. An experimental system was installed and tested in the laboratory of thermal process of Research and Technology Center of Energy (CRTEn), Tunisia, in order to achieve the two main goals of this work: developing a new radiation heating system with quick and inexpensive implementation while ensuring high efficiency and environment-friendly performance for the entire system. The results obtained show that it is feasible to use the novel RPHs as heat rejecter of the horizontal ground source heat pump system (HGSHPs) for heating buildings with limited surface land areas epically those located in the Mediterranean regions such as Tunisia, the average performance coefficients of the geothermal heat pump COPhp and the overall system COPsys are found to be 6.3 and 3, respectively. The thermal comfort analysis indicates that there is only a small vertical temperature fluctuation in the test room that would not produce any negative effect on thermal comfort.

In this study, we considered a building, which had a volume of 336 m3 and a floor area of 120 m2, with indoor and outdoor air temperatures of 20 oC and 0 oC, respectively. For heating this building, we selected two options, namely (i) a ground-source (geothermal) heat pump system (Case 1), and (ii) a solar collector heating system (Case 2). We employed both energy and exergy analysis methods to assess their performances and compare them through energy and exergy efficiencies and sustainability index. We also investigated energy and exergy flows for this building and illustrated from the primary energy transformation through the heat production system and a distribution system to a heating system, and from there, via the indoor air, across the building envelope to the surrounding air. We calculated that the total exergy efficiencies for Cases 1 and 2 were 4.7%, and 26.1% while sustainability index values for both cases were 1.049 and 1.353 at a reference (dead) state temperature of 0 oC, respectively.

This study examined the effects of a heating system using a ground source geothermal heat pump (GHP). A GHP was installed in a pig house, and a comparative analysis was performed between the GHP and the control (conventional heating system) in terms of the production performance, housing environment, noxious gas emissions, electricity consumption, and economics. The geothermal system performance index, such as the coefficient of performance (COP), inlet, and outlet temperature, were also evaluated. The outflow temperature during each period (weaning, growing, and finishing) was significantly higher than the inflow temperature in all three components of the GHP system. Similarly, the average internal temperature of the GHP-connected pig house was increased (p < 0.05) during each period. The carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration, electricity usage, and cost of electricity during the 16-week experimental period were reduced significantly in the GHP system relative to the control. The concentrations of ammonia (NH3) during the growing and finishing period and the concentrations of formaldehyde during the weaning phase were also lower in the GHP-installed pig house (p < 0.05). These results indicate that the GHP system can be used as an environmentally friendly renewable energy source in pig houses for sustainable pig production without harming the growth performance.

Characteristics Analysis

The heat transfer capability of the underground geothermal heat exchanger (GHE) is influenced by groundwater advection, and heat conduction and groundwater heat advection is coupled. Based on porous medium theory, the GHE’s mathematical model under coupled heat conduction and advection is established with correspond simplifications. Through numerical simulation, the performance of the GHE with groundwater advection is analyzed. The GHE’s heat transfer effect in winter in the continuous operation mode(COM) and the intermittent operation mode(IOM) is compared, furthermore the soil recovering effect in IOM is analyzed, finally the heat recovering time which the soil demands in a system running period is researched. It supplies theory support and technology accumulation for the application of ground-source heat pump (GSHP).
