Comparative study on the thermal performance and economic efficiency of vertical and horizontal ground heat exchangers

Abstract: The ground-coupled heat pump is a shallow geothermal exploitation method taking soil as the thermal energy source. The ground heat exchanger is an important component of this system, which includes vertical or horizontal configurations. However, to the best of our knowledge, few studies exist involving the comparison of thermal performances and installation costs of two heat exchanger types considering the influence of ground climate, which makes the selection of heat exchanger configuration challenging for a … Show more

“…Therefore, the viscosity reduction of the heavy oil and the improvement of its rheological properties are the essential methods to greatly enhance oil recovery . Thermal recovery is the most common and successful technology in heavy oil recovery. However, a large amount of heat will be consumed in the process of transferring and heating crude oil, especially for the reservoirs with thin reservoir thickness and bottom water. The cold production of heavy oil has received more and more attention, and surfactant emulsification and viscosity reduction technology is one of the most effective methods due to its good viscosity reduction effect, simple process, and low cost. …”
