Development of design software on ground heat exchanger based on coupling method

Complexity of heat transfer between ground heat exchanger and soil results in technical difficulties in design of the ground heat exchanger ground-source heat pump. Presents a new design method based on dynamic model of ground heat exchanger ground-source heat pump in which the influence of the soil thermal properties, the heat pump unit’s dynamic property and building dynamic load model are considered. Develops a user-friendly software interface, providing support for the ground heat exchanger ground-source heat pump design.
