Features: This book is a professional guide on ground-source heat pump technology, supported by seven organizations including the U.S. Department of Energy, the U.S. Department of Defense, and the Canadian Ministry of Natural Resources, and published by the American ASHRAE Society. It is divided into four parts: Principles, Design, Installation, and Energy Efficiency, with a total of 14 chapters and 4 appendices. The content includes:
- Introduction to the classification, working principles, system composition, and comparison with conventional systems of ground-source heat pump systems;
- How to conduct on-site geological surveys and experiments;
- Building zoning and heating/cooling load calculations;
- How to select a ground-source heat pump system;
- Design of ground heat exchangers, groundwater heat exchangers, and surface water heat exchanger systems;
- Design of distribution systems and indoor air conditioning systems;
- Installation, commissioning, and inspection of ground-source heat pump systems;
- Energy-saving measures and energy-efficient design calculations for ground-source heat pump systems, providing data on soil and rock properties, antifreeze properties, as well as plastic pipes and accessories.
This book is a comprehensive and practical professional guide that combines theory with practice.
