A numerical study on the intermittent operation of u-tube and coaxial borehole heat exchangers
Abstract
This study provides a comprehensive investigation into the impact of intermittent operation on two borehole designs: coaxial and u-tube heat exchangers. Previous studies have compared borehole heat exchanger (BHE) designs and others have investigated the impact of intermittent parameters; this study provides a systematic analysis of the intersection between intermittency and design. Using detailed numerical models of a coaxial and u-tube heat …
