Design and analysis of ground coupled heat pumps systems

这项建议的范围是研究与土壤源热泵系统相关的不同热力方面。这些方面与使用原始方法的设计应用有关，包括：小时负荷模拟、短期热响应和大规模长期配置的影响。需求还将评估不同类型的配置，如DX系统和开环配置，并在北方气候的背景下评估各自的优点。研究方案还将评估实际安装基准：机构和住宅，以便在实际应用中对不同节能系统产生真正的能源和经济影响。

The scope of this proposal is to study different thermal aspects related to earth coupled heat pump systems. These aspects are related to design applications using original approaches including : hourly loads simulation, short-time thermal response and effect of large scale long term configurations. The demand will also evaluate different kind of configurations, like DX system and open-loop configurations, and evaluate their individual merits in the context of a northern climate. Application to the problem of thermal ground characterization will also be studied.The research proposal will also evaluate real installation benchmarks: institutional and residential , in order to have real energetic and economical impact of different energy-saving systems in real life applications.
