Abstract: The need to address climate change caused by greenhouse gas emissions attaches great importance to research aimed at using renewable energy .Geothermal energy is an interesting alternative concerning the production of energy for air conditioning of buildings (cooling or heating) through the use of geothermal heat pumps. A ground source heat pumps (GSHP) uses the shallow ground as a source of heat thus taking advantage of its seasonally moderate temperatures.
The calculation of Ground couple Heat Exchanger performance is very important for predicting the performance and estimating the initial cost of geothermal heat pump systems. On average GHE are oversized by 10-30%.
Vertical Ground Heat Exchanger is most common because of its smaller environmental influence and land field requirement. This paper reviews the current theoretical, analytical and numerical model to calculate the performance of ground coupled heat exchanger. The purpose of this paper is to increase the awareness of different assumption and methodologies between calculation. There primary strength and weakness are also presented.
Keywords: ground coupled condenser, residential building, temperature, energy conservation.
