Abstract

Feasibility of a ground source heat pump (GSHP) system with pile heat exchangers for use in houses is evaluated through a numerical simulation. This GSHP system differs from ordinary borehole-type GSHP systems because short foundation piles installed at close intervals are used as heat exchangers. It is shown that the annual heat supply provided by this GSHP system is able to satisfy the demand of a house due to the air-source exchange at ground surface.
