Considering buried depth in the moving finite line source model for vertical borehole heat exchanges – a new solution
DownloadFall 2019
The current available g-functions obtained from the moving finite line source (MFLS) model for design and simulation of vertical borehole heat exchangers (BHEs) neglects the effects of buried depth, i.e. the vertical distance between the ground surface and the BHEs. This study proposed a new...

Refining current design methods for vertical borehole heat exchangers considering complex ground conditions
DownloadSpring 2024
Ground source heat pump systems (GSHP), exploiting shallow geothermal energy, have been receiving increasing interest for space heating and cooling due to their high energy efficiency and low greenhouse gas emissions. A core component of the GSHP system is the ground heat exchanger (GHE) that is...
