Abstract

Earth-air heat exchange (EAHE) systems offer the possibility of reducing use of nonrenewable energy for heating ventilation air in cold climates. The number of installations of large diameter (greater than 900 mm) EAHE systems reported for cold climates is small. Even less has been reported on their heating performance, but the available information suggests that further rigorous assessment is warranted to determine whether the reported better than expected temperature rise is supported and, if so, the reasons for this. Another concern is the possibility of long-term heat depletion in the surrounding soil, which would affect performance. Only a couple of short-term experimental studies of ground temperature effects of heating with EAHE were found for cool climates. Four articles that addressed ground temperature effects with horizontal ground source heat pump exchangers had conflicting findings regarding heat depletion in the soil.
