Open loop or ground water heat pump systems are the oldest of ground-source systems. Standing column wells can be used as highly efficient ground heat exchanger in geo-thermal heat pump systems, where hydrological and geological conditions are suitable. These systems require some careful considerations for well design, ground water flow, heat exchanger selection etc This paper describes 9round water temperature variations, performances in heat ins and cool ing mode and the results of ground water analysis.

Purpose: The use of renewable energy system is essential for building energy independence and saving energy consumption in the building sector. Among renewable energy technologies, ground source heat pump(GSHP) system is more energy-efficient and environmental-friendly than other heat source systems due to utilize stable ground heat source. However, the GSHP system requires a high initial installation cost and installation space in limited urban area, so it is difficult to have superiority in the market of heat source system. Therefore, it is necessary to develop the installation method of low-cost and improve system performance. This paper aims to evaluate the performance of double u-tube ground heat exchanger(GHX) and verify system feasibility through real-scale experiment. Method: In this study, the real-scale experiment of vertical closed-type GSHP system was conducted using double u-tube GHX and high-efficiency grout. Through the verification experiment, heat source temperature, heat exchange rate(HER) and seasonal performance factor(SPF) were measured according to the long-term operation. In addition, the feasibility analysis was conducted comparing to the single u-tube system. Result: In the results of experiment, average HER was 136.27 W/m and average SPF was 5.41. Furthermore, compared to the single u-tube, the installation cost of the developed system could be reduced about 70% in the same heating load condition.

A ground source heat pump system should be equipped with devices to measure the generated heating or cooling heat amount in Korea. Generally, the heat measuring devices have been developed to estimate consumed heat amount in residential or commercial buildings from a central air-conditioning system or a district heating system. In this study, two representive heat measuring devices used for buildings were selected, and the accuracy of them were experimentally estimated at the ground source heat pump operating conditions. The obtained heat amounts from the heat measuring devices were deviated within 4.3% comparing with the precise values calculated from an accredited test facility. Even though the accumulated heat amount values of the heat measuring devices had a small difference comparing with the precise values, the temperatures of heat measuring devices showed greatly different values comparing with the precise temperature. Therefore, it is highly recommended to develop the heat measuring devices which is appropriate for the ground source heat pump systems.

The main objective of the present study is to investigate the performance characteristics of a ground-source heat pump(GSHP) system with a 130 m vertical and 62 mm nominal diameter U-tube ground heat exchanger. In order to evaluate the performance analysis, the ground-source heat pump connected to a test room with $90\;m^2$ floor area in the Korea Institute of Construction $Technology(37^{\circ}39'N,\;126^{\circ}48'E)$ was designed and constructed. This ground-source heat pump system mainly consisted of ground heat exchanger, indoor heat pumps and measuring devices. The cooling and heating loads of the test room were 5.5 and 7.2 kW at design conditions, respectively. The experimental results were obtained from July 2, 2003 to July 1, 2004. The cooling and heating performance coefficients of the system were determined from the measured data. The average cooling and heating COPs for the system were obtained to be 4.90 and 3.96, respectively. The temperature variations in ground and the ground heat exchanger pipe surface at different depths were also measured.

The growth of domestic energy demand is rapidly increased for the industrialization and the improvement of the living standards. It is also recognised that the importance of the use of environmentally friendly energy and high efficient equipment. Ground Source heat pumps (GSHP) using earth as heat source or sink are outstanding environmentally friendly energy systems which have high thermal efficiency when compared to conventional heating and cooling system. So government employs a policy and increase investment for expanding renewable energy market volume. Especially is established a system for obligatory usage of renewable energy to achieve 5% renewable energy diffusion rate by 2011. And the market demand for the ground source heat pump is rapidly growing due to its strong advantages. However domestic situation usually have been depended on the import of ground source heat pumps. In this paper, the results of development of a ground source heat pump using refrigerant R410A are reported.

This paper presents the cooling performance analysis results of a ground-source heat pump (GSHP) system using hybrid ground heat exchanger (HGHE). In this paper, the HGHE refers to the ground heat exchanger (GHE) using both a vertical GHE and a surface water heat exchanger (SWHE). In order to evaluate the system performance, we installed monitoring sensors for measuring temperatures and power consumption, and then measured operation data with 4 different load burdened ratios of the hybrid GHE, Mode 1~Mode 4. The measurement results show that the system with HGHE mainly operates in Mode 1 and Mode 2 over the entire measurement period. The average cooling coefficient of performance (COP) for heat pump unit was 5.18, while the system was 2.79. In steady state, the heat pump COP was slightly decreased with an increase of entering source temperature. In addition, the parallel use of SWHE and VGHE was beneficial to the system performance; however, further research are needed to optimize the design data for various load ratios of the HGHE.

Ground source heat pump (GSHP) systems are actively introduced as cooling and heating conditioning systems of buildings due to annual stable performance and easily maintenance. However, ground temperature imbalance is occurred when the GSHP is used for a long period. Therefore, in this study, we proposed the operation method of the system that considered the recovery time of heat source temperature. The entering water temperature (EWT) and heat exchange rate (HER) were comparatively analyzed according to the continuous and intermittent operation. Furthermore, the underground thermal environment was evaluated by numerical analysis model. As the result, the intermittent operation was a maximum of 12.3% higher HER during the heating period than the continuous operation. In addition, the overall ground heat source temperature at the intermittent operation was higher than it at the continuous operation.

GSHP(Ground Source Heat Pump) has been extensively disseminated due to the recent increasing demand over new and renewable energy. In this study, the operating performance of rain water and ground source heat pump system (RW-GSHP) was compared with GSHP during the heating test. Leaving load temperature(LLT) was $50^{\circ}C$, $53^{\circ}C$, $56^{\circ}C$, respectively and rain water tank temperature(RWT) was $13^{\circ}C$, $15^{\circ}C$, $17^{\circ}C$ in this heating test. The experiment was focused on comparison of the system operating performance depending on leaving load temperature (LLT) and rain water tank temperature (RWT). The results showed that rain water and ground source heat pump system (RW-GSHP) was higher heating performance and COPh than those of GSHP.

In order to evaluate the performance of ground heat source in thermal labyrinth on pre-heating in winter season and pre-cooling in summer season, the followings are made as a conclusion through case study of H project by using the weather data from Korea meteorological administration and CFD model. By making outdoor air inlet via ground heat source in thermal labyrinth for conduction, convection and etc., the temperature rise is $13.4^{\circ}C$as the effect of pre-heating in winter season. On the other hand, as the effect of pre-cooling in summer season, the temperature decrease is $7.2^{\circ}C$. The energy saving rate by the application of ground heat source in thermal labyrinth is 9.1%.
