Abstract
The closed ground source heat pump systems are one
types of ground source heat pump (GSHP) systems and are
classified as low enthalpy geothermal systems since they make
use of low temperature differences, it consists of heat
exchanger loops that utilize the heat conduction mechanism
of the ground to reject or extract heat. The design of
geothermal heat exchangers strongly depends on the properties
of the soil as they affect soil resistance, which is an indication
of the amount of energy that can be transferred to/from the
ground.
Because of the unavailability of experimental data in the
selected region, particularly those concerning the nature of the
soil, this study was conducted to examine the influence of the
kind of soil (Three different soils) on the design of a vertical
closed loop for a residential unit under the meteorological
conditions of Tamenrasset, city located in the south of
Algeria, using analytical design procedures (ASHRAE) which
highlight the influence of heat exchanger properties and
ground parameters.
