Geothermal heat exchanger(GHEX) is a major component of Geothermal heat pump system(GSHPs). In Common, We use the vertical type GHEX in Korea. But vertical type GHEX needs a high cost for installation, because of drilling the hole which has 200m depth at max. So, We suggest the use of horizontal type GHEX. When we construct buildins, We excavate the ground and we can install the horizontal type GHEX at the excavated underground. It's very cheap and convenient method compare to vertical type GHEX installation. This study is peformed to estimate the peformance of horizontal type GHEX and to analyze effects of heat exchanger types and undergroundwater. As the result, slinky type GHEX has a 66% efficiency compare to vertical type GHEX and mat type has a 201% efficiency at the undergroundwater zone.

The temperature of underground water generally remains constant regardless of the season. therefore, it is possible to get plenty of energy if we use characteristics of underground water for both cooling and heating. This study evaluates efficiency of real size coaxial and U-tube type complex geothermal system which is combined with underground water well. This study also evaluates relative efficiency/adaptability through comparison with existing geothermal systems(vertical closed loop system, open loop system(SCW)). The heat exchange capacity of complex geothermal system according to temperature difference between circulating water and underground water shows very high significance by increasing proportionally. The temperature change of underground water according to injection energy, shows very high linear growth aspect as injection thermal volume heightens. As a result of evaluation of heat exchange volume between complex geothermal system and comparative geothermal system, coaxial type has 26.1 times greater efficiency than comparative vertical closed type and 2.8 times greater efficiency than SCW type. U-tube type has 26.5 tims greater efficiency than comparative vertical closed type and 2.8 times greater than SCW type as well. This means complex geothermal system has extremely outstanding performance.

Vertical closed-loop ground source heat pump systems(GSHP) have been installed widely in Korea since it can extract moderate temperature level of geothermal heat in a small area. As a ground heat exchanger, a vertical closed-loop type with brine circulation is mostly preferred since it is simple and less harmful to ground environment. However, it requires a secondary heat exchange loop between the refrigerant in a heat pump and the brine. By adding a geothermal heat exchanger in the secondary heat exchange loop, circulation pumps should be attached and the temperature difference between refrigerant and ground is increased, which are important parts of performance degradation. In this paper, annual and seasonal performances of direct expansion(DX) geothermal heat pump were estimated mathematically as an alternative of classical indirect geothermal heat pump based on the annual performance evaluation. As a result, DX geothermal heat pump showed 43% higher annual performance than the classical U-tube geothermal heat pump.

최근 지열에너지 활용 증가 추세와 더불어 지하수 부존량이 풍부한 지역에서 수직개방형의 효율이 더 높다는 연구결과가 제시됨에도 불구하고, 국내 지열냉난방시스템의 열교환 방식은 수직밀폐형 방식이 주를 이루고 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 지하수 부존량이 풍부한 지역에서 수직개방형 방식의 효율성을 검증하기 위하여, 수리지질 및 열적 특성을 반영한 최적의 지열에너지 활용 방식을 수치 모의하였다. 1차 모의 결과, 지하수 부존량이 풍부한 지역에서 지열냉난방시스템을 활용하는 경우 수직밀폐형보다 지하수를 직접 이용하는 수직개방형이 더욱 효과적인 것으로 분석되었으며, 수직개방형 중에서는 SCW (standing column well)형 보다는 주입정과 추출정이 분리된 복수관정형에서 지반과 열교환을 통해 얻을 수 있는 주입수와 추출수의 온도차 (${\Delta}$)가 커 더욱 효율적인 것으로 나타났다. 2차 모의에서는 수직개방형 지열에너지 공급방식인 단일관정형, SCW형, 복수관정형을 대상으로 열 이송, 이격거리 및 유량, 지하수 수리경사 등을 고려한 최적의 활용 방식을 검토하였으며, 이를 바탕으로 지열냉난방시스템의 지중 열교환 방식 선정 시 활용할 수 있는 흐름도를 제시하였다. 본 연구결과 제시된 다양한 선정 기준을 기초로 실제 선정 시에는 전체 지열냉난방 시스템에 대한 COP (coefficient of performance) 계산 및 세부적인 타당성 검토가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

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.

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.

Geothermal heat pump systems use the earth as a heat source in heating mode and a heat sink in cooling mode. These systems can be used for heating or cooling systems in farm facilities such as greenhouses for protected horticulture, cattle sheds, mushroom house and etc. A horizontal type means that a geothermal heat exchanger is laid in the trench buried in 1.2 to 1.8 m depth. Because a horizontal type has advantages of low installation, operation and maintenance costs compared to a vertical type, it is easy to be adopted to agriculture. In this study, to heat and cool farm facilities and obtain basic data for practical application of horizontal geothermal heat pump system in agriculture, a horizontal geothermal heat pump system of 10 RT was installed in greenhouse. Heating and cooling performance of this system was estimated. The horizontal geothermal heat pump used in this study had heating COP of 4.57 at soil temperature of $14^{\circ}C$ with depth of 1.75m and heating COP of 3.75 at soil temperature of $7^{\circ}C$ with the same depth. The cooling COP was 2.7 at ground temperature at 1.75m depth of $25.5^{\circ}C$ and 2.0 at the temperature of $33.5^{\circ}C$.

본 연구에서는 수직형 지중 열교환기의 3차원 CFD 해석 기법을 제안하여 2개소의 현장 열응답 시험과 비교하였다. CFD 해석 비교를 위해 GAMBIT을 이용하여 지중과 지중 열교환기 형상을 모델링하였으며, 상용코드인 FLUENT를 사용하여 3차원 열전달 유동 해석을 수행하였다. 2개소의 현장 열응답 시험에서 도출된 지중 유효 열전도도와 지중 초기온도를 경계조건으로 사용하였으며, 시간에 따른 지중 열교환기의 입구온도 변화는 profile을 사용하여 실제 조건을 모사하였다. CFD 해석 결과 2개소의 지중 열교환기 출구온도는 $0.5^{\circ}C$ 범위 내에서 예측하였고, 기울기는 1.6% 이내에서 적절히 예측하였다. 향후 CFD 해석 기법을 활용하여 지중 열교환기 깊이, 형상 및 배열 변화 등에 따른 성능예측에 활용하고자 한다.

This study was performed to construct a geothermal data base about thermal conductivity of ground heat exchanger and thermal properties of grouting material which used to refill the borehole. We have acquired geothermal data sets from 39 sites over wide area of South Korea except to Jeju island. From data analysis, the range of thermal conductivity is 1.5$\sim$4.0 W/mK. It means that thermal conductivity varies with grouting material as well as regional geology and ground water system.
