Abstract

Performance evaluation and economic estimation were conducted on the water to water GSHP (Ground Source Heat Pump) installed in existing building. Ground heat exchanger was a closed vertical loop type and sized to be 5 boreholes and 100m depth per borehole. Operation efficiency of the system shows that, COP increased from 3.0 to 4.2 with entering water temperature in heating operation, however, COP decreased from 5.0 to 3.7 in cooling operation. Economic estimation was analyzed by LCC (Life Cycle Cost) method and it showed that GSHP could save 68% of cost compare to the conventional oil source. Thus, despite of the large amount of initial cost, GSHP has a economic advantage to the other energy sources.

본 연구는 지열원 물 대 물(water to water)히트 펌프 시스템의 냉방 및 난방 운전시 성능 특성과 경제성 평가에 관한 것이다. 5개의 보어홀당 지중 100m의 깊이로 밀폐 수직형 지중 열교환기(closed-vertical ground source)가 설치된 냉난방 시스템이 적용된 건축물에 대하여 냉난방 운전성능을 평가하였으며, 연간 소비전력을 측정하여 실제 시스템의 경제성을 분석하였다. 또한, 순환수의 입구온도에 따른 시스템의 운전 성능을 분석한 결과 난방시에는 COP가 3.0에서 4.2로 증가한 반면, 냉방시에는 5.0에서 3.7로 감소하였다. 본 실험을 통해서,대상 건축물에 대한 지열 냉난방 시스템의 수명주기비용은 기존 냉난방 시스템(보일러+에어컨)에 비해서 68%까지 절감되었으며, 시스템의 경제성을 고려해 볼 때 기존 건축물에도 지열원 냉난방 시스템을 적용하는 것이 타당하다.
