Numerical Estimation of the Thermal Power Available at a Ground Heat Exchanger Built on Loamy Soil
Main Article Content
Abstract
The article presents an attempt to determine the operating characteristics of a ground heat exchanger working in the system with a heat pump. The values obtained as a result of numerical CFD simulation were compared to design assumptions. Thermal power estimates were completed for averaged ground temperature conditions, focusing on an 11-hour operation period, which constitutes one day of plant operation. A direct coupling model of the equation of energy in the solid body and flowing liquid was used in the numerical simulation. An isotropic soil structure with physical properties corresponding to the actual site was assumed in the simulation. No potential migration of the heat stream caused by present watercourses was considered during the simulation.
