Abstract

The geothermal energy is one of the renewable energy sources which can contribute in accomplishing a vision and goal of the national plan on energy for a government suggestion. Especially, the geothermal energy is evaluated as the nearly unlimited resources. The yearly underground temperature distribution by depth is very important to the design of air-conditioning system which uses a geothermal energy. Furthermore, there has no data for comparisons to numerical analysis. In this study, the yearly underground temperature is measured under the depth of 2 m in Tongyeong, and these data are compared with numerical analysis results for checking the accuracy. The results showed that the experimental temperature and numerical results had a good agreements and these results will be utilized to predict a performance of air-conditioning system for using a geothermal energy.
