Commercial buildings are generally cooling-dominated and therefore reject more heat to a vertical ground heat exchanger(GHE) than they extract over the annual cycle. Shallow ponds can provide a cost-effective means to balance the thermal loads to the ground and to reduce the length of GHE. The objective of this work has been to develop a design tool for surface water heat exchanger(SWHE) submerged in shallow pond. This paper presents the analysis results of the impact of design parameters on the length of SWHE and its application effect on geothermal heat pump(GHP) system using vertical GHE. In order to analysis, We applied ${\epsilon}-NTU$ method on designing the length of SWHE. Analysis results show that the required pipe length of SWHE was decreased with the increase of approach temperature difference and with the decrease of pipe wall thickness. In addition, when the SWHE was applied to the GHP system, the temperature of vertical GHE was more stable than that of standalone GHE system.

유출지하수나 지표수를 열원으로 하는 지열히트펌프의 Pond Loop형 열교환기를 개발하기 위하여 미국에서 상용화된 Slim-Jim 열교환기와 본 연구에서 자체설계, 제작한 Pond-loop type의 열교환기를 유동이 없는 유출수조 내에서 수조온도가 변화함에 따라 일정한 열교환기 입구온도를 유지하면서 열전달량의 변화를 측정하였다. 그 결과 유출수를 Heat Source로 사용하는 경우 Slim-Jim에서는 $8,000{\sim}11,000 kcal/hr$의 열량이 전달되었고, 자체 제작한 열교환기에서는 $11,000{\sim}16,000kcal/hr$의 열량이 전달되었다. 유출수를 Heat Sink로 사용할 경우 Slim-Jim에서는 $2,500{\sim}7,000 kcal/h$의 열량이 전달되었고, 자체제작한 열교환기의 경우, $6,800{\sim}14,00 kcal/hr$의 열량이 전달되었다. 측정된 열전달량을 바탕으로 총괄열전달계수를 구한 결과 Slim-Jim 열교환기의 경우 $210{\sim}340 kcal/hr\;m^2{\circ}C$, 자체개발한 열교환기의 경우 $350{\sim}590 kcal/hr\;m^2{\circ}C$로 나타나 자체 개발한 열교환기의 열전달 성능이 비교적 우수함을 입증하였다.

유출지하수나 지표수를 열원으로 지열히트펌프의 지초자료로 활용하기 위하여 Pond Loop형 열교환기를 설계, 제작하여 유동이 없는 수조 내에서 수조의 온도가 변화함에 따라 일정한 열교환기 입구온도를 유지하면서 열전달량을 측정하였다. 그 결과 수조를 Heat Source로 사용하는 경우 $5,500{\sim}4,500kcal/h$의 열량이 전달되었고 수조를 Heat Sink로 사용할 경우 $5,200{\sim}3,500kcal/h$의 열량이 전달되었다. 또한 열교환기 관내 유속이 증가함에 따라 열전달량이 증가하는 경향성을 확인할 수 있었고 이는 동시에 열교환기 입출구의 차압을 증가시킴을 알 수 있었다. 열교환기의 설계단계에서 사용하였던 열전달관계식으로 구한 총괄열전달계수, U와 실험값을 통해 유추한 U값을 비교한 결과 실험에 의해 유추된 U값이 $24{\sim}27%$ 설계치보다 크게 나타났다. 본 연구를 통하여 유출지하수 뿐만 아니라 하수 및 하천수를 이용한 지열히트펌프의 기초자료를 확보할 수 있었다.

This paper presents the heating performance analysis results of a ground-source heat pump (GSHP) system using hybrid ground heat exchanger (HGHE). In this paper, the HGHE refers to the ground heat exchanger (GHE) using both a surface water heat exchanger (SWHE) and a vertical GHE. In order to evaluate the system performance, we installed monitoring sensors for measuring temperatures and power consumption, and then measured operation data with 4 different load burdened ratios of the HGHE. During the entire measurement period, the average heating capacity of the heat pump was 37.3 kW. In addition, the compressor of the heat pump consumed 9.4 kW of power, while the circulating pump of the HGHE used 6.7 kW of power. Therefore, the average heating coefficient of performance (COP) for the heat pump unit was 4.0, while the system including the circulating pump was 2.7. Finally, the parallel use of SWHE and VGHE was beneficial to the system performance; however, further researches are needed to optimize the design data for various load ratios of the HGHE.

Commercial buildings and institutions are generally cooling-dominated and therefore reject more heat to a borehole ground heat exchanger (BHE) than they extract over the annual cycle. Shallow ponds can provide a cost-effective means to balance the thermal loads to the ground and to reduce the length of BHE. This paper presents the analysis results of the impact of design parameters on the length of SWHE pipe and its application effect on geothermal heat pump (GHP) system using BHE. In order to analysis, we applied ${\varepsilon}-NTU$ method on designing the length of SWHE pipe. Analysis results show that the required pipe length of SWHE was decreased with the increase of approach temperature difference and with the decrease of pipe wall thickness. In addition, when the SWHE was applied to the GHP system, the temperature of BHE was more stable than that of standalone BHE system.

Commercial buildings and institutions are predominantly cooled, thereby dissipating excess heat to a vertical ground heat exchanger (VGHE), than heat extracted over an annual cycle. Surface waters, such as lakes and ponds, provide a cost-effective means of reducing the VGHE length, and in balancing the thermal loads to the ground. This paper presents the measurement and analysis of the cooling performance of ground-coupled heat pump (GCHP) system, using surface water heat exchanger (SWHE) submerged in an artificial pond. In order to measure the performance of the system, we installed monitoring equipment, including sensors, for assessing the temperature and power consumption, after which the operation parameters were determined. The results from the thermal performance test for the SWHE indicate that the temperatures at the outlet of the SWHE and within the pond were affected by outdoor air temperature. In addition, the results reveal similar variation trends on temperatures; however, the peak temperatures of the SWHE were somewhat greater than those of outdoor air, due to the thermal capacity of the pond. Analyzing the cooling performance over the measurement period, the average coefficient of performance (COP) of heat pump was found to be 5.71, while that for the entire system was 2.99.

In this paper, the HGHE refers to the ground heat exchanger (GHE) using both a vertical GHE and a surface water heat exchanger (SWHE). In order to evaluate the system performance, we installed monitoring sensors for measuring temperatures and power consumption, and then measured operation data with 4 different load burdened ratios of the hybrid GHE, Mode 1~Mode 4. The measurement results show that the system with HGHE mainly operates in Mode 1 and Mode 2 over the entire measurement period. The average cooling coefficient of performance (COP) for heat pump unit was 5.18, while the system was 2.79. In steady state, the heat pump COP was slightly decreased with an increase of entering source temperature. In addition, the parallel use of SWHE and VGHE was beneficial to the system performance; however, further research are needed to optimize the design data for various load ratios of the HGHE.

이번 연구에서는 Ali & Ramadhayni[2]에 의해 실험된 corrugated fin에 Cross-Cutting을 하여 압력강하를 2-D Laminar 영역에서 분석하였다. 분석 지표로는 Pressure drop의 무차원화된 지표인 friction factor를 사용하였고, corrugation angle을 $10^{\circ}$, $20^{\circ}$, $30^{\circ}$로 변화 시켜가며 진행하였다. Cross-Cutting의 길이는 $0.3D_h$길이로 고정시켜 계산하였고, 모든 값은 $D_h=2l$로 무차원화 하였다. Corrugated Fin의 경우, Corrugation Angle에 따라 층류영역에서 주기성을 가진 vortex shedding이 일어나는데, 그 때의 레이놀즈 수를 본 연구에서는 임계 레이놀즈 수라 하고, Vortex Shedding이 일어나기 시작하는 $Re_{cr}$ 이하에서 연구를 진행하였다.

The heat and flow characteristics in a single-phase parallel-flow heat exchanger was examined numerically to obtain its optimal shape. A response surface method was introduced to approximately predict its performance with respect to the design parameters over the design domain. The inflow/outflow angle of the working fluid, the location of inlet/outlet, the protruding height of flat tube and the height of header were chosen as a design parameter The evaluation of the relative importance of the design parameters was performed based on a sensitivity analysis. An efficiency index was used as an evaluation characteristics value to simultaneously consider both the heat transfer and the pressure drop. The efficiency index of the optimum model, compared to that of the base model, was increased by 9.3%.
