Heat transfer characteristics of underground heat exchanger group in ground-source heat pump systems

Based on the arrangement of the underground heat exchanger group and the operation conditions of the ground-source heat pump system of an actual project in Wuhan, performs a dynamic numerical simulation and analysis of the heat transfer characteristics of the underground heat exchanger group during a five-year operation period in typical zones. Presents the concepts of temperature deviation degree and heat transfer assurance factor, and studies their variation in a long term operation process of ground-source heat pump systems. Proposes that the imbalance rate between cooling and heating load should be reduced as much as possible to ensure the stability and reliability of ground-source heat pump system operation.
