- Abstract:
- The performance of a direct-expansion ground-source heat pump(DX GSHP)system is theoretically analyzed.Compared with the conventional ground-source heat pump(GSHP), the DX GSHP has a lower condensing temperature in the cooling mode and a higher evaporating temperature in the heating mode, and the ground heat exchanger(GHE)in the DX GSHP has a low thermal resistance.Therefore, the coefficient of performance(COP)of the DX GSHP is higher than that of the GSHP.In addition, the system performance of the DX GSHP system is higher than that of the conventional GSHP system because there are no secondary solution loops and water circulating pumps in the DX GSHP system.The experimental energy performance of the DX GSHP system is also investigated based on the actual operational data.The tested DX GSHP system is installed in Xiangtan, China.The U-vertical GHE of the DX GSHP is buried in a water well.The length and the outside nominal diameter of the GHE are 42 m and 12.7 mm, respectively.The experimental results show that the maximum(COP)and the average COP of the DX GSHP system in the heating mode are 5.95 and 4.72, respectively.
