Being environmental friendly and with the potential of energy-efficiency, more and more ground-source heat pump (GSHP) systems are being widely used. However, the influence of groundwater advection on the performance of the geothermal heat exchanger (GHE) in a GSHP is not still clearly known. In...

A novel dry-expansion shell-and-tube evaporator (DESTE) integrated with function of defouling was developed as a component of wastewater source heat pump (WWSHP). To compare the performance of the DESTE-WWSHP with the conventional immersed evaporator (IE) based wastewater source heat pump...

Being environmental friendly and with the potential of energy-efficiency, ground-source heat pump (GSHP) systems are widely used. However, in southern China, there exists large difference between cooling load in summer and heating load in winter. Thus the increase of soil temperature gradually...
