Abstract

The thermal influential factor of energy pile system is investigated by considering the seasonal effect, saturation of ground, and fluid velocity based on the finite volume method. Analysis includes the evaluation of thermal resistance and corresponding heat exchange rate for each case. It is shown that the efficiency of heat exchange rate is more pronounced with higher fluid velocity due to the larger number of circulation for a given period. Through the parametric studies, it is also found that the degrees of saturation a little influenced thermal effect during 8 hours of operational scenario.
