현재까지 지열 열펌프 시스템의 지중열교환기는 수직 밀폐형과 개방형 지중열교환기가 주로 설치되어 열응답시험을 이용한 열특성 평가가 수행되어 왔다. 본 논문에서는 열응답시험과 선형열원법을 이용하여 수평형 지중열교환기의 열특성을 분석하였다. 또한 지열 열펌프 시스템은 매일 단속 운전되어지므로 일일부하시험을 수행하여 수평형 지중열교환기의 지중온도 및 순환수 평균온도 일별 변화를 고찰하였다. 시험을 위해 경기도 안산에 직선식 수평형 지중열교환기(심도 2 m, 길이 50 m 8줄)를 설치하였다. 시험결과 수평형 지중열교환기의 지중 열전도율은 연중 $1.43{\sim}1.64W/m{\cdot}K$ 범위로 비교적 큰 변화가 없으며 12월에 최대값을, 5월에 최소값을 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 12일간 지중 열교환기로 하루 10시간동안 6.0 kW의 열량을 투입하는 연속 부하시험을 6월, 9월, 12월에 수행한 결과 지중온도는 이 기간 동안 각각 $4.31^{\circ}C$, $3.14^{\circ}C$, $1.21^{\circ}C$ 상승하는 것으로 나타났다.

A ground source heat pump (GSHP) system is recommended as a heating and cooling system to solve the pending energy problem in the field of air conditioning, because it has the highest efficiency. However, higher initial construction cost works as a barrier to the promotion and dissemination of GSHP system. In this study, numerical analysis on the characteristics of high density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe with spiral inside was executed. The heat transfer and flow characteristics of it were compared with those of a conventional smooth HDPE pipe. The heat transfer coefficient and pressure drop of the spiral HDPE pipe were higher than those of the smooth HDPE pipes at the same fluid flow rate. By decreasing the flow rate, the spiral HDPE pipe represented similar values of heat transfer coefficient and pressure drop to the smooth HDPE pipe. The lower flow rate of the spiral HDPE pipe comparing with it of the smooth HDPE pipe is estimated to reduce the length of the ground loop heat exchanger.

Ground-source(Geothermal) heat pump(GSHP) systems can achieve a higher coefficient of performance than conventional air-source heat pump(ASHP) systems. However, GSHP systems are not widespread because of their expensive installation costs. The authors have developed a GSHP system that employs the cast-in-place concrete pile foundations of a building as heat exchangers in order to reduce the initial cost. In this system, eight U-tubes are arranged around the surface of a cast-in-place concrete pile foundation. The heat exchange capability of this system, subterranean temperature changes and heat pump performance were investigated in a full-scale experiment. As a result, the average values for heat rejection were 186~201 W/m(per pile, 25 W/m per pair of tubes) while cooling. The average COP of this system was 4.6 while cooling; rendering this system more effective in energy saving terms than the typical ASHP systems.

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.

Energy foundations and other thermo-active ground structure, energy wells, energy slab, and pavement heating and cooling represent an innovative technology that contributes to environmental protection and provides substantial long-term cost savings and minimized maintenance. This paper focuses on earth-contact concrete elements that are already required for structural reasons, but which simultaneously work as heat exchangers. Pipes, energy slabs, filled with a heat carrier fluid are installed under conventional structural elements, forming the primary circuit of a geothermal energy system. The natural ground temperature is used as a heat source in winter and heat sink in summer season. The system represented very high heating and cooling performance due to the stability of EWT from energy slab. Maximum heat pump unit COP and system COP were 4.9 and 4.3.

Ground-coupled heat pump systems have been widely used, as they are regarded as a renewable energy source and ensure a high annual efficiency. Among the system components, borehole heat exchangers (BHE) play an important role in decreasing the entering water temperature (EWT) to heat pumps in the cooling season, and consequently improve the COP. The optimal sizing of the BHEs is crucial for a successful project. Other than the existing sizing methods, a simulation-based design tool is more applicable for modern complex geothermal systems, and it may also be useful since design and engineering works operate on the same platform. A simulation-based sizing method is proposed in this study using the well-known Duct STorage (DST) model in Trnsys. TRNOPT, the Trnsys optimization tool, is used to search for an optimal value of the length of BHEs under given ground loads and ground properties. The result shows that a maximum EWT of BHEs during a design period (10 years) successfully approaches the design EWT while providing an optimal BHE length. Compared to the existing design tool, very similar lengths are calculated by both methods with a small error of 1.07%.

Recently, small and medium-sized buildings have employed a multi-heat pump. The major benefits of the multi-heat pump over a conventional system are that it is easier system to maintain along with a diversification of facility use, and high comfortability. The performance of multi-heat pump systems can be enhanced by using geothermal energy instead of air source energy. This paper describes the multi-heat pumps applied in an ground source heat pump system for an actual building. The performance of a ground source multi-heat pump installed in the field was investigated in cooling mode. The maximum COP of the systems with single U-tube and double tube ground loop heat exchangers were 6.6 and 6.0, respectively. It is suggested that the new algorithms to control the flow rate of secondary fluid for ground loop heat exchanger have to be developed in order to enhance the performance of the system.

Cement mortar and concrete can be used as grouts but problems regarding shrinkage and the discord of coefficients of thermal expansion between grouts and HDPE pipes has to be solved. Thermal conductivities of wet condition two times larger than those of dry condition, except for pure cement mortar. The addition of sand into the cement grouts greatly increases the thermal conductivity. The addition of bentonite into the cement grouts reduces thermal conductivity thus reducing the density. Bentonite grouting must be used only below the groundwater table since bentonite grouts possesses high shrinkage property in dry condition. The addition of sand prevents the shrinkage of bentonite grouts. Bentonite manufactured in Korea can be used since they possess similar thermal conductivities with imported products. The addition of sand into the bentonite grouts greatly increases the thermal conductivity.

However, GSHP systems are not widespread in Japan because of their expensive boring costs. The authors have developed a GSHP system that employs the cast-in-place concrete pile foundations of a building as heat exchangers in order to reduce the initial boring cost. In this system, eight U-tubes are arranged around the surface of a cast-in-place concrete pile foundation. The heat exchange capability of this system, subterranean temperature changes and heat pump performance were investigated in a foil-scale experiment. As a result, the average values for heat rejection were 186${\sim}$201 W/m (for pile, 25 W/m per Pair of tubes) while cooling. The average COP of this system was 4.6 while cooling; rendering this system more effective in energy saving terms than the typical ASHP systems. The initial cost of construction per unit for heat extraction and rejection is ${\yen}$72/W for this system, whereas it is f300/W for existing standard borehole systems.

The purpose of this study is to use the CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics) method for the ground source heat pump(GSHP) system with vertical U-tube ground heat exchangers. In order to predict LWT(leaving water temperature) in the length of time, This simulation is used by utilizing FLUENT which is commercial CFD code. It was performed by based on four boreholes in the field. Comparing with the results of CFD and field measurement for LWT, the results of CFD was presented very good agreement with 1.0% average difference.
