The number of the GSHP systems installed in Japan is increasing

However, the number is still less than the ones of other countriesTo promote the GSHP system more effectively is required

In Japan, there are a lot of regions where sufficient ground water as a heat source or a heat sink is available

Background

Example –Measured ground water level and ground water flow direction-

Almost Japanese cities are developed in alluvial fan area In this area, ground water flow is normally generated due to difference of the ground level

Background

As the new study, the authors…have carried out laboratory experiments as a first step to develop adesign tool for the GSHP system with the ground water flow

It is important to consider the ground water flow for design of the GSHP system

While, we have developed a design tool for the GSHP system

The tool considered only heat conduction for calculation of the ground temperature

On the other hand, in order to take - in a design of the GSHP system -the ground water flow into consideration, accurate measurements of the ground water velocity field are very important

Borehole (Ground heat exchanger)

Observation well(s) to measure ground water velocity

Applying new method

Not need

Background

However…

The authors propose a new method to estimate the ground water velocity.

Observation wells to measure ground water velocity is required apart from boreholes used as ground heat exchangers

Making the observation wells takes a lot of time and cost

Providing dimension to the approximate equation, gradient of temperature kwf is obtained by the following equation,

Here, constant number n is introduced

The number n can be provided by the exponential approximate equation of kwfaccording to t. The gradient of temperature kwf (t) can be calculated with a temperature variation measured in the actual experiment. The gradient of temperature without ground water advection kwf is obtained from the temperature variation in the short range of elapsed time.

Summary

1. From the laboratory experiments, it is indicated that the effective thermal conductivity with the ground water flow are influenced by period of elapsed time.

2. Applying the theoretical calculation and numerical calculation is effective for calculation of the ground temperature with the ground water flow because of good agreement between the calculated temperatures and the ones measured in the experiments.

3. A new method to estimate the ground water velocity was proposed. Then the examples indicated that the method is effective to estimate the ground water velocity.

Laboratory experiments with a thermal probe were carried out. As the result, the followings are obtained
