Residential is the biggest market for geothermal heatpump systems in the world. However It could not be considered as a big market in Korea. Serious problems are hidden. In this paper, I will discuss about with other problems that we must solve.

본 연구에서는 지열히트펌프 시스템의 열원으로써 지열이외에 건축물의 미활용 에너지라고 할 수 있는 상수도의 에너지를 활용하여 지중열교환기의 천공길이를 줄이는 것이 주요 목적이며, 또한 건물의 미활용에너지를 냉난방에너지원으로써 이용 가능한 것을 보여주는 것에 있다. 실험은 4인 가족기준으로 3RT 용량의 히트펌프를 설치하고 인당 평균 177 liter/day 기준으로 하루에 약 710 liter/day의 물을 사용하는 것으로 가정하였다(환경부 2007년 상수도 통계값). 시간당 가정내에서 사용하는 물량은 일정하지 않아 일일 8시간 사용하는 것으로 하여 약 1.5 LPM 으로 실험하였다. 저수조의 크기 및 지열 히트펌프의 열원으로써 사용가능한 열량을 계산하기 위해 CFD 시물레이션을 수행하였다. CFD의 결과 상수도를 급수하기 위한 저수조의 크기는 $2m^3$로 결정하였으며 이때 열원으로써 사용가능한 열량은 약 0.7RT였다. 48시간의 실험기간 동안 저수조를 통해 얻은 열원은 0.6RT 였으며 100m의 지중열교환기를 통해 얻은 열원은 2RT 였다. 히트펌프 자체의 난방 COP는 평균 4.2를 나타내었으며 펌프등의 소비전력을 포함한 System COP는 4.0 나타내었다. 이번 연구를 통해 건물의 미활용에너지인 저수조의 물을 이용하여 지열히트펌프의 열원으로써 이용 가능하며 기존의 지열히트펌프 시스템대비 천공길이 단축, 시공비 저감이 가능한 것을 볼 수 있었다.

For the perfomance test of geothermal system, a large pilot of capacity of 50RT is built and operated in office building. This system is planed hybrid system with cooling tower as asisstance heat sink. From October, 2004 to September, 2005, this system is operated andmonitored. As the result, COP of heating periods is about 3.46 and COP of cooling periods is about 4.1. Therefore, geothermal system is useful and suitable in Korea.

Geothermal heat exchanger(GHEX) is a major component of Geothermal heat pump system(GSHPs). In Common, We use the vertical type GHEX in Korea. But vertical type GHEX needs a high cost for installation, because of drilling the hole which has 200m depth at max. So, We suggest the use of horizontal type GHEX. When we construct buildins, We excavate the ground and we can install the horizontal type GHEX at the excavated underground. It's very cheap and convenient method compare to vertical type GHEX installation. This study is peformed to estimate the peformance of horizontal type GHEX and to analyze effects of heat exchanger types and undergroundwater. As the result, slinky type GHEX has a 66% efficiency compare to vertical type GHEX and mat type has a 201% efficiency at the undergroundwater zone.

Refrigerant having high global warming potentials will be phased out due to environmental protection issues. R410A has been widely used in geothermal heat pump. However, it has a little high GWP by 2088 value. One of the recommended substitute for R410A refrigerant is R452B which having a GWP by 698 value. In this paper, the heating and cooling performance of the water-to-water geothermal heat pump unit with R452B was experimentally investigated. The performance of the heat pump adopting R452B was also compared with the system applying R410A. The heating and cooling capacity of R452B heat pump system showed a slightly lower values within 2% comparing with R410A system. However, the R452B system's coefficient of performance was enhanced by 5.2% and 13.7% at heating and cooling mode, respectively.

Since the revision of the Rationalization of Energy Use Law, the spread of new and renewable energy in buildings has been promoted. In addition, the production of electric power and thermal energy is an important issue in the change of energy paradigm centered on the use of distributed energy. Among them, geothermal energy is attracting attention as a high-performance energy-saving technology capable of coping with heating / cooling and hot water load by utilizing the constant temperature zone of the earth. However, there is a disadvantage that the initial investment cost is high as a method of calculating the capacity of a geothermal facility by calculating the maximum load. The disadvantages of these disadvantages are that the geothermal energy supply is getting stagnant and the design of the geothermal system needs to be supplemented. In this study, optimization design of geothermal system was carried out using optimization tool. As a result of the optimization, the ground heat exchanger decreased by 30.8%, the capacity of the heat pump decreased by 7.7%, and the capacity of the heat storage tank decreased by about 40%. The simulation was performed by applying the optimized value to the program and confirmed that it corresponds to the load of the building. We also confirmed that all of the constraints used in the optimization design were satisfied. The initial investment cost of the optimized geothermal system is about 18.6% lower than the initial investment cost.
