Simulation Experiment on Energy Tower Coupled with Buried Pipe System of Ground-source Heat Pump for Cross-season Heat Storage

Abstract

Abstract It is proposed to use energy tower instead of solar collector system to store heat for buried pipe system of ground-source heat pump in summer, so as to solve the problem that soil temperature is too low due to unbalanced cold and heat load of GSHP in cold and severe cold area. The simulation results show that the thermal storage power of energy tower is affected by soil temperature and environmental temperature. The lower the soil temperature, the better the thermal storage effect of energy tower system for soil. The thermal storage power and environmental temperature change in a positive relationship. It is proved that the application of cross-season heat storage is feasible for energy tower coupled with buried pipe system of ground-source heat pump in cold and severe cold area.
