Ground heat exchanger design example in Shanghai

Presents a ground-source heat pump and cooling tower system, which absorbs heat from soil through vertical ground heat exchangers entirely in winter, releases heat to soil through vertical ground heat exchangers in summer, and cooling tower works as assistance when the ground heat exchangers cannot meet the heat release requirement(at peak time). By the analysis and calculation of soil thermal properties, obtains the parameter of the soil thermal properties, which provides the basis for the heat transfer calculation. Meanwhile, checks the design conclusion by the site testing data.
