Abstract

Abstract: Earth Tube heat exchanger can be proved as a better substitution to the space heating and HVAC problems that we face in our day to day lives. Earth tube heat exchangers can work in two phases, i.e. as a heater during winter seasons and as a cooler during summer season. ETHE can work more efficiently than traditional HVAC. This project concentrates on computational study of earth tube heat exchanger. The designing calculations were done for appropriate length and area of an earth tube heat exchanger. A model of ETHE was produced on basis of this calculations and dimensions obtained. The model was generated using Solidworks R2021 software. The ETHE model generated was then analysed for thermal stresses, distribution and other parameters. A CFD simulation of model for velocity and flow was carried on. The conclusions obtained show that ETHE works efficiently and can be used as a substitution for traditional HVAC. Keywords: Heating ventilation and air conditioning(HVAC), Earth tube heat exchanger(ETHE), Computational fluid Dynamics (CFD), Efficiently, Thermal stresses.
