Tower-based design method for ground source heat pump systems

Presents the tower-based method for the optimal design and long-term performance analysis of ground source heat pump(GSHP)systems, and expounds the design objective, key design points and basic design data. Represents the long-term predictive method of the soil and fluid temperature field, especially of the soil temperature field considering the effects of underground water flow and the earth core heat transfer. Verifies the validation of the tower-based method through the comparison of experimental data obtained from practical GSHP system with simulated results.
