Recently, in according to increase cognizance of energy and resources exhaustion, renewable energy system is received attention. In particular, ground heat pump system(GSHP) utilizing annually stable ground temperature for energy saving have been attracted in many buildings. However, GSHP system have disadvantage due to increase of initial installation and boring cost. In this study, in order to reduce the initial cost and to supply ground heat pump system into small scale house, an unit-type ground heat exchanger was developed.

A ground source heat pump (GSHP) system can stable system operation by using underground heat source and has high reliability for energy production. However, wide-spread of the GSHP system is delayed to high initial investment costs. In previous studies, horizontal and unit-type ground heat exchanger (GHX) have developed to overcome disadvantages such as high initial cost. However, these performances of GHXs are greatly influenced by climate and weather conditions. It is necessary to analyze the performance of GHX according to the ground temperature change in the installation site. In this study, the ground temperature of each installation site confirmed and performance of unit-type GHX quantitatively analyzed by numerical analysis. As the result, the performance of the unit type GHX was 33.9 W/m in Seoul, 34.2 W/m in Daejeon, and 37.2 W/m in Busan.The result showed the difference performance of GHX according to local climate was maximum of 9.7%.

Recently, ground source heat pump (GSHP) systems have attracted much attention, according to the enhanced social demand of renewable energy. GSHP systems can achieve higher coefficient of performance than the conventional air-source heat pump systems by utilizing stable underground temperature. However, the initial cost of GSHP system is higher than that of the conventional systems, especially, in the small-size buildings. Therefore, it is necessary to develop small-size ground heat exchanger with low cost and quick installation. In this study, a unit-type ground heat exchanger was developed and heat exchange rate was calculated by the numerical simulation. As a result, 27.45 W/m of heat exchange rate was acquired in the condition of $0.5m{\times}0.2m{\times}2m$ unit.

Ground-coupled heat pump (GCHP) systems utilize the immense renewable storage capacity of the ground as a heat source or sink to provide space heating, cooling, and domestic hot water. The main objective of the present study is to investigate the cooling and heating performance of a small scale GCHP system with horizontal ground heat exchanger (HGHE). In order to evaluate the performance, a water-to-air ground-source heat pump unit connected to a test room with a net floor area of 18.4 m2 and a volume of 64.4 m3 in the Korea Institute of Construction Technology ($37^{\circ}39'N$, $126^{\circ}48'E$) was designed and constructed. This GCHP system mainly consisted of slinky-type HGHE with a total length of 400 m, indoor heat pump, and measuring devices. The peak cooling and heating loads of the test room were 5.07 kW and 4.12 kW, respectively. The experimental results were obtained from March 15, 2011 to August 31, 2011 and the performance coefficients of the system were determined from the measured data. The overall seasonal performance factor (SPF) for cooling was 3.31 while the system delivered heating at a daily average performance coefficients of 2.82.

Among the various ground source heat pump systems, vertical-type heat pump systems have been distributed greatly. Most of the vertical-type ground source heat pump systems have been designed based on the Korean Ministry of Knowledge Economy Announcement in Korea. In this study, the design process of the vertical-type ground source heat pump system in the announcement was analyzed, and the effects of the design parameters on the ground loop heat exchanger were investigated. Borehole thermal conductivity was the highest dominant design parameter for ground loop heat exchangers. The borehole thermal conductivity was changed according to the pipe and grout thermal conductivity. For optimal design of the ground heat pump system, it is highly recommended that the design process in the announcement will be revised to adopt the various tubes and grout which have higher thermal conductivity. In addition, the certification standard for heat pump unit should be revised to develop the heat pump with a small flow rate.

The energy slab is a ground coupled heat exchanger equipped in building slab structures, which represents a layout similar to the horizontal ground heat exchanger (GHEX). The energy slab is installed as one component of the floor slab layers in order to utilize the underground structure as a hybrid energy structure. However, as the energy slab is horizontally arranged, its thermal performance is inevitably less than the conventional vertical GHEXs. Therefore, stainless steel (STS) pipes are alternatively considered as a heat exchanger instead of high density polyethylene (HDPE) pipes in order to enhance thermal performance of GHEXs. Moreover, not only a floor slab but also a wall slab can be utilized as a heat-exchangeable energy slab in order to maximize the use of underground space effectively. In this paper, four field-scale energy slabs were constructed in a test bed, which consist of the STS and HDPE pipe, and a series of thermal response tests (TRTs) was conducted to evaluate relative heat exchange efficiency per unit pipe length according to the pipe material and the configuration of energy slabs. The energy slab equipped with the STS pipe shows higher thermal performance than the energy slab with the HDPE pipe. In addition, thermal performance of the wall-type energy slab is almost equivalent to the floor-type energy slab.

The aim of this study is to investigate the daily heating performance of ground source multi-heat pump system with vertical single U-tube type GLHXs, which were installed in a school building located in Cheonan. Daily average COP of heat pump unit on Jan. 12th, 2009 at heating mode was lower than it on Nov. 10th, 2008 and Dec. 15th, 2008, because of lower EWT of the outdoor heat exchanger and relatively smaller size of condenser and evaporator. But, the system COP on the former was higher than it on the latter because ground loop circulating pump was operated in rated speed. It is suggested that the new algorithms to control the flow rate of secondary fluid for GLHX according to load change have to be developed in order to enhance the performance of the system COP.

최근 들어 경제적인 지열에너지 활용을 위하여 에너지 파일의 적용이 확대되고 있다. 특히 더 높은 열 교환 효율을 확보하고자 에너지 파일의 경우 보다 높은 열효율을 얻기 위해 통상적인 U자형 지중 열교환기가 아닌 코일형 지중열교환기를 매입하는 경우가 늘어나고 있다. 본 논문에서는 PHC 에너지 파일에 의한 지중 열 전달 거동에 대한 수치해석 및 실험적 연구를 수행하였다. 화강풍화토로 이루어진 현장에 PHC 에너지 파일을 설치하고 W자형과 코일형 지중 열교환기를 설치한 후 이에 대한 현장 열성능 실험을 수행하였다. 또한 3차원 유한요소해석을 수행하여 지중온도 및 지중 열교환기 내 순환수 온도 변화를 예측하였고 이를 실험값과 비교하였다. 냉방 부분 가동 조건 하에서 코일형 열교환기 이용시 W자형을 이용했을 때보다 10~15% 열교환율이 상승되는 것을 알 수 있었다.

터널 내부의 지열을 활용하여 지열 냉난방 시스템 가동에 필요한 열에너지를 얻을 수 있는 텍스타일 형태의 지중열교환기(에너지 텍스타일)를 충남 서천군 일대의 철도 폐터널 벽면에 시험 시공하였다. 현장에 설치된 에너지 텍스타일의 성능을 평가하기 위해 냉방 운영과 난방 운영에 대한 일일 냉난방 모사 시험을 수행하였다. 일일 냉난방 모사 시험을 진행하는 동안 터널 벽면에 설치된 지중 열교환기로 유입/유출되는 순환수의 온도, 순환 유량, 터널 벽면 내부 지반의 온도, 터널 내부의 온도를 지속적으로 측정하였다. 시험을 통해 현장에 설치된 에너지 텍스타일은 난방가동에서 에너지 텍스타일 유닛당 57.6~143.5 W의 열교환률을 보였고 냉방가동에서는 362.3~558.4 W의 열교환률을 보였다. 또한, 시험결과로부터 터널에 설치된 지중열교환기의 열교환 성능은 터널 내부 기온의 변화에 큰 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 전산유체 수치해석을 통하여 터널 내부 기온 변화를 고려한 현장 시험을 모사하여 적용된 수치해석 모델을 검증하였다. 검증된 수치해석 모델을 이용하여 콘크리트 라이닝 내부의 유도 배수재 설치 유무에 따른 에너지 텍스타일의 열적 거동에 대한 매개변수 연구를 수행하였다.
