Abstract

The current article uses a two-dimensional numerical model to represent the results of theoretical studies of the heat exchange in the soil massif during the operation of a shallow horizontal soil heat exchanger. The analysis of literature sources showed that one of the important conditions for the effective operation of a shallow-soil heat exchange is its rational design parameters, such as the total length of the pipeline, the diameter of the pipe, the distance between the axis of the adjacent pipes, the depth of the heat exchanger placement, etc. A two-dimensional heat exchange model in the soil mass was developed, which made it possible to investigate the operation of a shallow horizontal soil heat exchanger. It was found that the step between the axis of the adjacent pipes of the multi-loop heat exchanger, which is 0.95 m, is optimal when creating a shallow horizontal soil heat exchanger in the soil conditions of Kyiv.
