    Energy Engineering, Vol.122, No.3, pp. 1005-1024, 2025, DOI:10.32604/ee.2025.059198 - 07 March 2025

    Abstract Geothermal energy, a form of renewable energy, has been extensively utilized for building heating. However, there is a lack of detailed comparative studies on the use of shallow and medium-deep geothermal energy in building energy systems, which are essential for decision-making. Therefore, this paper presents a comparative study of the performance and economic analysis of shallow and medium-deep borehole heat exchanger heating systems. Based on the geological parameters of Xi’an, China and commonly used borehole heat exchanger structures, numerical simulation methods are employed to analyze performance and economic efficiency. The results indicate that increasing the… More > Graphic Abstract

    Performance Characteristics of Geothermal Single Well for Building Heating

    Jingying Li1, Tiejun Zhu1, Fengming Li1, Dong Wang1, Xianbiao Bu2, Lingbao Wang2,*

    Energy Engineering, Vol.118, No.3, pp. 517-534, 2021, DOI:10.32604/EE.2021.014464 - 22 March 2021

    Abstract The single well geothermal heating (SWGH) technology has attracted extensive attention. To enhance heat extraction from SWGH, a mathematical model describing heat transfer is set up, and the key influence factor and heat transfer enhancement method are discussed by thermal resistance analysis. The numerical results show that the thermal resistance of rock is far greater than that of well wall and fluid. So, reducing rock thermal resistance is the most effective method for enhancing the heat extraction power. For geothermal well planning to drill: rock thermal resistance can be reduced by increasing well diameter and… More >
