Experimental Study on Determining Thermal Conductivity of Soil

Article Preview

Abstract:

Ground source heat pump (GSHP) is an effective energy saving technology for heating and air conditioning. Thermal conductivity of soil is a critical parameter for designing a GSHP system, as the parameter is indispensable in analyzing and determining initial investment, energy saving effects, and operating performance of the system. In this study, the major influencing factors of soil thermal conductivity were analyzed. With different compositions and water contents of soil, the values of conductivity were determined experimentally, which can provide essential data for designing a GSHP system.
