Thermal analysis of earth-to-air heat exchanger using laboratory simulator

Shallow depth of ground has shown that it is able to produce potential cooling and heating throughout the year. The cooling and heating can be extracted by means of an earth-air heat exchanger (EAHE) technique, numerically and experimentally. The authors have identified that the field experiment has...

Results show that the flow rate of 0.03 kg/s and Tg of 23 °C gives the highest temperature reduction with 9.62 °C or 27.5% relative to the inlet temperature. The highest heat transfer rate at 558.3 W was obtained at a flow rate of 0.07 kg/s and Tg of 23 °C. The experimental results also have been validated with a field test from other researchers and were found to be in close agreement.
