현재 지열 열펌프 시스템에 수직밀폐형 지중열교환기가 가장 많이 적용되고 있으며, 수직밀폐형 지중열교환기의 성능에 영향을 미치는 주요 인자로는 지중 열전도율(k)과 보어홀 전열저항($R_b$)이 있다. 본 연구에서는 현장에서 측정된 열응답시험 데이터를 이용하여 보어홀 전열저항을 계산하였으며 지중열교환기 개별 설계인자들(순환수유량, 파이프 수, 그라우팅재)이 보어홀 전열저항에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 또한 도출된 그라우팅 열저항은 문헌에 제시된 다양한 상관식과 비교 분석하였다. 시험데이터를 통해 본 시험에서의 지중열교환기 보어홀 전열저항은 0.1303 W/m.K로 나타났으며, 보어홀 전열저항에서 그라우트 열저항이 66.6 %, 파이프 열저항이 31.5 %, 순환수 대류열저항이 1.9 %를 차지하여 그라우트가 보어홀 열전달에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 인자임을 확인하였다. 또한 각 설계인자의 설계변수가 보어홀 전열저항에 미치는 영향을 분석한 결과 실리카샌드를 혼합하여 그라우트 열전도율를 높이는 방법이 파이프 수 증가나 순환수 유량증가보다 열전달 증진에 더 효과적임을 알 수 있었다.

선형열원 해석은 열원 주위가 완전히 균일한 매질로 이루어져 있다는 가정 하에 성립되는 해석이나 실제 보어홀 시스템의 경우 그라우팅 영역은 주위토양과 매우 다른 열물성치를 가진 물질로 이루어져 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 그라우팅 영역이 선형열원 해석에 어떠한 영향을 미치는가를 연구하였다. 연구방법으로는 먼저 수치모델을 개발하고 이 수치모델에 의하여 시간에 따른 보어홀 유체온도를 생성한 후 이 유체온도를 선형열원법에 이용하여 지중열전도도와 보어홀 전열저항을 구하며 이렇게 구한 해를 수치모델의 입력조건과 비교함으로서 그 차이점을 규명한다. 이러한 해석결과 선형열원법의 해인 지중열전도도와 보어홀 전열 저항은 수치모델 입력조건에 비해 대략, 86%와 91%의 수준으로 나타났다. 선형열원 해로부터 수치모델의 입력조건을 역산해 나가는 Chart법이 본 연구에서 개발되었으며 시험용 보어홀의 열응답시험 결과와 비교해 본 결과 이 Chart법은 신뢰성이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 그라우트 영역의 열물성치를 변화시켜가며 선형열원해의 특성이 어떻게 변하는지도 검토하였다.

The effect of borehole thermal resistance on the borehole length is studied. In performing this work a new concept BLRR(borehole length reduction rate) is developed based on the line source model. The solution of line source model is shown to be valid through the comparison with the data of thermal response test. It is shown that BLRR is a function of soil thermal conductivity(k) and borehole thermal resistance($R_b$). The value of BLRR increases with increasing k, which means reducing $R_b$ is more effective when k is high. The reduction of borehole length with change of $R_b$ is easily estimated with BLRR. The validity of BLRR is also examined with EED analysis.

A one-dimensional numerical model coupled with parameter estimation is used to predict the effective thermal conductivities of soil formations and borehole resistances from in situ field test data. In this application a new method of using initial ignoring time (IIT) obtained from error estimation is tried and turned out to be successful in determining soil thermal conductivities. This method is used for single-U and double-U borehole system. The results of this method are compared and agreed well with those of existing software (GPM) in the analysis of single-U borehole data. In the analysis of double-U borehole data this method seems to be better in predicting soil and borehole properties.

Investigation of the effective soil thermal conductivity($k$) is the first step in designing the ground loop heat exchanger(borehole) of a geothermal heat pump system. Another important factor is the borehole thermal resistance($R_b$). Thermal response tests offer a good method to determine the ground thermal properties for the total heat transport in the ground. The first step is measured for initial soil temperature. This is done by supplying a only pump power into a borehole heat exchanger. They need to supply into water unload heat power more than 30 minutes. In this study, the initial soil temperature was found to analysis $14.1{\sim}16.0^{\circ}C$,the ratio was 68.7% represented. In this case of $k$, was 2.1~3.0 $W/m{\cdot}k$, $R_b$ was 0.11~0.20 $m{\cdot}K/W$. In this work, it is also shown that the distribution of a soil thermal conductivity and borehole thermal resistance were on the influence of initial soil temperature. And soil thermal conductivity was related with factors of equation by linear least square method, borehole thermal resistance was on the influence of composite factors.

Investigation of the effective soil thermal conductivity(k) is the first step in designing the ground loop heat exchanger(borehole) of a geothermal heat pump system. The line source method is required by New and Renewable Energy Center of Korea Energy Management Corporation in analyzing data obtained from thermal response tests. Another important factor in designing the ground loop heat exchanger is the borehole thermal resistance($R_b$). There are two methods to evaluate $R_b$ : one is to use a line source method, and the other is to use a shape factor of the borehole. In this study, we demonstrated that the line source method produces better results than the shape factor method in evaluating $R_b$. This is because the borehole thermal resistance evaluated with the line source method characteristically reduces the temperature differences between an actual and a theoretical thermal behaviors of the borehole. Evaluation of $R_b$ requires soil volumetric heat capacity. However, the effect of the soil volumetric heat capacity on the borehole thermal resistance is very small. Therefore, it is possible to use a generally accepted average value of soil volumetric heat capacity($=2MJ/m^3{\cdot}K$) in the analysis. In this work, it is also shown that an acceptable range of the initial ignoring time should be in the range of 8~16hrs. Thus, a mean value of 12 hrs is recommended.

Investigation of the effective soil thermal conductivity(k) is the first step in designing the ground loop heat exchanger(borehole) of a geothermal heat pump system. Another important factor is the borehole thermal resistance($R_b$). Thermal response tests offer a good method to determine the ground thermal properties for the total heat transport in the ground. This is done by supplying a constant heat power into a borehole heat exchanger. There are two methods to supply a constant heat power. One is to employ the electricity provided by Korea Electric Power Corporation(KEPCO). The other is to use electricity generated by a generator. In this study, the power supply regulation was found to reduce when the electricity generated by the generator was used. This is because the generator evaluated with the power supply characteristically reduces the power supply regulation between an overload and a complex using. But it sometimes occurs a power supply regulation in In-situ thermal response test. In this case getting of k,$R_b$ requires delay times and restored normal state. However, the effect of the delay times and restored normal state on the soil thermal conductivity and borehole thermal resistance is very small. Therefore it is possible to use a generally accepted delay times and restored normal state in the analysis. In this work, it is also shown that an acceptable range of ${\Delta}k$, ${\Delta}R_b$ for normal state and regulation state might be approximately 0.01-0.16W/m k, and -0.004-0.007m K/W, respectively. Thus, restored normal state of power supply regulation is valuable to recommend.
