The thermal performance was affected by many different design parameters, such as configuration type and borehole size of geothermal heat exchanger. These eventually determined the operation and cost efficiency of the geothermal heat exchanger system. The main purpose of this work was to assess the thermal performance of geother^nal heat exchanger with variation of borehole sizes and numbers of U-tubes inside a borehole. For this, a thermal response test rig was established with line-source theory. The thermal response test was performed with in-line variable input heat source. Effective thermal conductivity and thermal resistance were obtained from the measured data. From the measurement, the effective thermal conductivity is found to have similar values for two- pair type （4 U-tubes） and three-pair type （6 U-tubes） borehole heat exchanger systems indicating similar heat transfer ability. Meanwhile, the thermal resistance shows lower value for the three-pair type compared to the two-pair type. Measured data based resistance have lower value compared to computed result from design programs. Overall comparison finds better thermal performance for the three-pair type, however, fluctuating temperature variation indicates complex flow behavior inside the borehole and requires further study on flow characteristics.展开更多

The IHICSSWHS （indirect heating integrated collector storage solar water heater system） is one of the most economical systems. It incorporates the collection of a solar energy component and a hot water storage component in one unit. The objective of this study was to investigate ways to enhance the thermal performance of the system. Two configurations of the system were studied： system with double row HX （heat exchanger） and tube length of 16.2 m, and system with single row HX and tube length of 8.1 m and 10.8 m. The service water tube inside diameter was also varied to 10.7 mm and 17.1 mm The steady state continuity, momentum and energy equations were numerically solved, using FLUENT software. A standard k-w turbulent model and surface-to-surface radiation model were used. The result showed that the system of 10.8 m tube length and single row HX provided higher outlet temperature than the system of 16.2 m and double row HX. Therefore, a significant reduction in cost and power usage can be achieved by using a single row HX.展开更多
