Performance analysis of earth-pipe-air heat exchanger for winter heating

Earth-pipe-air heat exchanger (EPAHE) systems can be used to reduce the heating load of buildings in winter. A transient and implicit model based on computational fluid dynamics is developed to predict the thermal performance and heating capacity of earth-air-pipe heat exchanger systems. The model is developed inside the FLUENT simulation program. The model developed is validated against experimental investigations on an experimental set-up in Ajmer (Western India). Good agreement between simulated results and experimental data is obtained. Effects of the operating parameters (i.e. the pipe material, air velocity) on the thermal performance of earth-air-pipe heat exchanger systems are studied. The 23.42 m long EPAHE system discussed in this paper gives heating in the range of 4.1-4.8 °C for the flow velocities 2-5 m/s. Investigations on steel and PVC pipes have shown that performance of the EPAHE system is not significantly affected by the material of the buried pipe. Velocity of air through the pipe is found to greatly affect the performance of EPAHE system.

Experimental and numerical analysis of an earth-air heat exchanger

The need to develop new technologies that allow the use of sustainable alternative sources of energy is increasingly evident. Thus, this work presents an experimental and numerical study of earth-air heat exchangers, which are used to reduce consumption of conventional energy for heating and cooling of built environments through the use of thermal energy contained in the soil. The experiment was conducted in southern Brazil in the city of Viamão, and its results were used to validate the computational modeling of heat exchangers. In the present work, the variation of air temperature inside the ducts, to an annual cycle, was investigated. The numerical solution of the conservation equations of the problem is performed with a commercial code (FLUENT) which is based on the Finite Volume Method (FVM). Turbulence is tackled with the Reynolds Stress Model (RSM). The transient temperature fields predicted numerically was compared with the experimental ones, the highest difference found was lower than 15%. The results showed the validity and effectiveness of the employed computational model, enabling its use for future researches and projects developments about earth-air heat exchangers.     

Parameters optimization of a vertical ground heat exchanger based on response surface methodology

Vertical ground heat exchangers are one of the most important parts of geothermal utilization systems. In order to understand the effect of simultaneous variation of design parameters; a three dimensional computational fluid dynamics simulation was carried out. Based on the effective parameters on the heat exchanger efficiency and the total heat transfer efficiency in cooling mode, and with the aid of the second-order Response Surface Model, two functions for the total heat transfer efficiency and the heat exchanger efficiency were derived. The effects of different design parameters on the response variables were examined. Based on the Response Surface Model, it was found that the dimensionless inlet fluid temperature and the dimensionless pipe diameter significantly affect the response variables, while the response variables are weakly affected by dimensionless depth. Finally, an optimization was performed and the optimum heat exchanger is defined using the model equations.

Numerical analysis on heat transfer characteristics of ionic liquids in a tubular heat exchanger

ABSTRACT

The efficiency of the solar thermal system depends on the performance of the solar collectors. There is a need to operate solar collector at higher possible temperature to attain maximum efficiency limits. However, the performance of the collector system is limited by the heat transfer characteristics of the working fluid called as the heat transfer fluid (HTF). Water is widely used as the HTF in the solar collector, but the major problem of using water as the HTF is its limited operating temperature. The objective of the work is to investigate the heat transfer characteristics of ionic liquids in tubular heat exchanger (HE) suitable for the solar thermal application. The HE was designed for a heat duty of 1?kW based on the thermal transport property of available ionic liquids and the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis was performed. The results indicate that there is only minimal deviation between the assumed and CFD data.
