Carries out the soil thermal response tests of heat extraction in winter and heat rejection in summer for DN25 single U-tube, DN25 double U-tube, DN32 single U-tube and DN32 double U-tube. Combined with the heat exchanger test result and initial cost, analyses the economy. The result shows that DN32 single U-tube is the best, DN25 single U-tube is the second and DN25 double U-tube is the worst.
