본 논문에서는 일반 수직밀폐형에서의 U, W, 2U 그리고 코일 타입의 지중 열교환기 형태별 열효율을 평가하기 위한 실험적 연구를 수행하였다. 매립지 지반으로 이루어진 인천국제공항 제2여객 터미널이 건설될 부지에 수직밀폐형 지중 열교환기가 설치되었다. 우선 U, W 그리고 2U 형태의 지중 열교환기를 이용한 현장 열응답 실험을 수행하여 지반의 열전도도를 도출한 후 U, W, 2U 그리고 코일형 지중 열교환기를 이용하여 100시간 연속 운전과 5일 동안의 부분 운용 모드로 현장 열성능 실험을 수행하였다. 냉방 가동 조건 하에서 코일형 지중 열교환기 이용시 나머지 타입의 열교환기들보다 약 2배 정도 열교환율이 상승되는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 부분 운전 모드시 연속 운전 모드보다 30~40% 열교환율이 상승되는 것으로 나타났다.

The aim of this research is to apply the eQuest model to investigate the energy conservation in a multifamily building located in Dayton, Ohio by using a Trombe wall and an ammonia ground source heat pump (R-717 GSHP). Integration of the Trombe wall into the building is the first retrofitting measure in this study. Trombe wall as a passive solar system, has a simple structure which may reduce the heating demand of buildings significantly. Utilization of ground source heat pump is an effective approach where conventional air source heat pump doesn't have an efficient performance, especially in cold climates. Furthermore, the type of refrigerant in the heat pumps has a substantial effect on energy efficiency. Natural refrigerant, ammonia (R-717), which has a high performance and no negative impacts on the environment, could be the best choice for using in heat pumps. After implementing the eQUEST model in the said multifamily building, the total annual energy consumption with a conventional R-717 air-source-heat-pump (ASHP) system was estimated as the baseline model. The baseline model results were compared to those of the following scenarios: using R-717 GSHP, R410a GSHP and integration of the Trombe wall into the building. The Results specified that, compared to the baseline model, applying the R-717 GSHP and Trombe wall, led to 20% and 9% of energy conservation in the building, respectively. In addition, it was noticed that by using R-410a instead of R-717 in the GSHP, the energy demand increased by 14%.

A ground source heat pump system maintains a constant efficiency due to its stable heat source and radiant heat temperature which provide a more effective thermal performance than that of the air source heat pump system. As an eco-friendly renewable energy source, it can reduce electric power and carbon dioxide. In this study, we analyzed one year of data from a web based remote monitoring system to estimate the thermal performance of GSHP with the capacity of 3RT, which is installed in a low energy house located in Daejeon, Korea. This GSHP system is a hybrid system connected to a solar hot water system. Cold and hot water stored in a buffer tank is supplied to six ceiling cassette type fan coil units and a floor panel heating system installed in each room. The results are as follows. First, the GSHP system was operated for ten minutes intermittently in summer in order to decrease the heat load caused by super-insulation. Second, the energy consumption in winter where the system was operated throughout the entire day was 7.5 times higher than that in summer. Moreover, the annual COP of the heating and cooling system was 4.1 in summer and 4.2 in winter, showing little difference. Third, the outlet temperature of the ground heat exchanger in winter decreased from $13^{\circ}C$ in November to $9^{\circ}C$ in February, while that in summer increased from $14^{\circ}C$ to $17^{\circ}C$ showing that the temperature change in winter is greater than that in summer.

The geothermal energy have been developed as the pro-environmental and the substantial long-term energy. Recently energy foundations and other thermo-active ground structures have been developed to enhance the use of geothermal energy. In this research, a tunnel wall is focused as a source of geothermal energy. If the tunnel wall can be used for geothermal source, it can provide relatively lower cost because it is not necessary to make a deep borehole like in case of closed-loop vertical ground heat exchanger. For analyzing efficiency of heat exchanger in tunnel, laboratory tests and the numerical analyses are performed.

Ground source heat pump(GSHP) systems have been attracted as high-efficient energy-saving technology, but the building clients and designers have hesitated to use GSHP systems which is a expensive initial installation and a uncertain economic feasibility. Therefore In order to reduce the initial cost, many researchers have focused on the energy-pile system using the structure of the building as a heat exchanger. Even though many of experimental studies for energy pile system have been conducted, there was not enough data of a quantitative evaluation with the economic analysis and comprehensive analysis for energy-pile. In this study, the feasibility study for the energy pile system with a barrette pile was conducted by the performance analysis and LCC assessment.

지열 히트펌프 시스템은 환경 친화적이고 에너지 절감 시스템으로 알려져 있다. 특히 지중 열교환기는 초기투자비와 시스템 성능을 결정하는 매우 중요한 요소다. 수직형 지열 시스템 설계를 위해서는 현장 열응답 테스트를 통해 지중 유효 열저항을 고려해야 한다. 본 연구에서는 지열이용검토서를 통해 접수된 전국의 지중 열전도도를 지역별로 분석하였다. 전국 평균 지중 열전도도는 2.56 W/mK로 분석되었다. 지중 열전도도가 가장 높은 지역은 서울로 평균 2.68 W/mK이고, 가장 낮은 지역은 부산으로 2.28 W/mK다. 또한 해안을 접하고 있는 지역의 열전도도는 전국 평균에 비해 약 30% 낮다.

This paper proposes an optimum operation method for open type ground heat exchangers. A series of TRTs and artificial heating/cooling operations were carried out while monitoring temperature in the hole of SCW. The ground temperature naturally increases with depth, but a switch between the cooling/heating mode results in a change in the distribution of ground temperature. The effect of the mode change was evaluated by performing LMTD and COMSOL multiphysics analysis for a reduced model with the depth of 150 m. As a result, in the cooling mode, the upstream operation is more efficient than the downstream operation and reduces EWT by $2.26^{\circ}C$. On the other hand, in the heating mode, the downstream operation is advantageous over the upstream operation and increases EWT by $3.19^{\circ}C$. The merit of the optimum operation will be enhanced for the typical dimension of SCW with a depth of 400~500 m. In the future, an open type ground heat exchanger system adopting the optimum operation with variation in the ground temperature will be used in practice.

This paper presents an experimental study on a new potential geothermal energy source obtained from tunnel structures. An "energy textile", which is a textile-type ground heat exchanger, was fabricated between a shotcrete layer and a guided drainage geotextile in the tunnel lining system. To examine the long-term thermal behavior of the energy textile, the difference in temperatures of the inlet and outlet fluid circulating through the heat exchange pipe within the energy textile was monitored using a constant-temperature water bath. Daily heat exchange rate of the energy textile during cooling operation was estimated from the measured temperatures of the inlet and outlet fluid through the energy textile. The air and ground temperature was also continuously monitored. The operation of the energy textile as a ground heat exchanger was simulated using a 3D numerical CFD model (Fluent). The thermal conductivity of shotcrete and concrete lining components and temperature variation of air in the tunnel were incorporated in the model. The numerical analysis shows a good agreement with the long-term monitoring result.

Geothermal heat pump(GHP) systems have been shown to be an environmentally-friendly, efficient alternative to traditional cooling and heating systems in both residential and commercial applications. Although some experimental work related to performance evaluation of GHP systems with vertical borehole ground heat exchangers for commercial buildings has been done, relatively little has been reported on the performance simulation of these systems. The aim of this study is to evaluate the cooling and heating performance of the GHP system with 30 borehole ground heat exchangers applied to an commercial building($1,210m^2$) in Seoul. For this purpose, a typical design procedure was involved with a combination of design parameters such as building loads, heat pump capacity, circulating pump, borehole diameter, and ground effective thermal properties, etc. The cooling and heating performance prediction of the system was conducted with different prediction methods and then each result is compared.
