Abstract

The objective of this work was to monitor and analyse temperature changes in the ground with installed linear and Slinky-type horizontal ground heat exchangers (HGHEs), used as low-potential heat pump energy sources. Specific heat flows and specific energies extracted from the ground during the heating season were also measured and compared. The verification results showed that the average daily ground temperatures with the two HGHEs are primarily affected by the temperature of the ambient environment. The ground temperatures were higher than ambient temperature during most of the heating season, were only seldom below zero, and were higher by an average 1.97 ± 0.77 K in the ground with the linear HGHE than in the ground with the Slinky-type HGHE. Additionally, the specific thermal output extracted from the ground by the HGHE was higher by 8.45 ± 16.57 W/m 2 with the linear system than with the Slinky system. The specific energies extracted from the ground over the whole heating season were 110.15 kWh/m 2 and 57.85 kWh/m 2 for the linear and Slinky-type HGHEs, respectively.
