Ground source heat pumps fundamentals, experiments and applications
Ground source heat pumps fundamentals, experiments and applications presents the theory and some of the most recent advances of GSHPs and their implementation in the heating/cooling system of buildings. The authors explore the thermodynamic cycle with calculation, operation regimes and economic indicators and GHG emissions of a vapor compression heat pump. They go on to examine substitution strategies of non-ecological refrigerants and types of compressors and heat pumps, before delving into the different GSHP systems, as well as their compared economic, energy and environmental performances using classical and optimized adjustment for various operating modes.
Surface water heat pumps and ground water heat pumps are covered, and special focus is given to both vertical and horizontal ground-coupled heat pump systems, for which modelling and simulation is discussed, and experimental systems are described. Due to its advanced approach to the subject, this book will be especially valuable for researchers, graduate students and academics, and as reference for engineers and specialists in the varied domains of building services.

Energy security is the ability of a nation to deliver the energy resources needed to ensure its welfare and implies a secure supply and stable prices. Energy is vital for the progress and development of a nation’s economy. The economic growth and technological advancement of every country depends on energy, and the amount of available energy affects that country’s quality of life. Economy, population and per capita energy consumption have increased the demand for energy during the last several decades. Fossil fuels continue to supply much of the energy used worldwide, and oil remains the primary energy source.
Explores fundamentals and state-of-the-art research, including ground-coupled heat pump (GCHP) systems.Includes performance assessment and comparison for different types of GSHP, numerical simulation models, practical applications of GSHPs with details on the renewable energy integration, information on refrigerants, and economic analysis.
