Abstract

This research presents an experimental study of heat exchange rate of U, W, 2U and coil type ground heat exchangers (GHEs) measured by thermal performance tests (TPTs). The four types of GHEs were installed in a partially saturated dredged soil deposit of Incheon International Airport area. Thermal response tests (TRTs) were conducted for U, W and 2U type GHEs to deduce the ground thermal conductivity. Besides, TPTs were also conducted for U, W, 2U and coil type GHEs to evaluate heat exchanger rates under 100-hr continuous and 8-hr intermittent operation conditions for five days. Coil shaped GHE showed about twice higher thermal performance than the others GHEs. Furthermore, intermittent operation condition showed 30~40% higher heat exchange rates than continuous operation condition.

본 논문에서는 일반 수직밀폐형에서의 U, W, 2U 그리고 코일 타입의 지중 열교환기 형태별 열효율을 평가하기 위한 실험적 연구를 수행하였다. 매립지 지반으로 이루어진 인천국제공항 제2여객 터미널이 건설될 부지에 수직밀폐형 지중 열교환기가 설치되었다. 우선 U, W 그리고 2U 형태의 지중 열교환기를 이용한 현장 열응답 실험을 수행하여 지반의 열전도도를 도출한 후 U, W, 2U 그리고 코일형 지중 열교환기를 이용하여 100시간 연속 운전과 5일 동안의 부분 운용 모드로 현장 열성능 실험을 수행하였다. 냉방 가동 조건 하에서 코일형 지중 열교환기 이용시 나머지 타입의 열교환기들보다 약 2배 정도 열교환율이 상승되는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 부분 운전 모드시 연속 운전 모드보다 30~40% 열교환율이 상승되는 것으로 나타났다.
