Designing Geothermal Heating and Cooling System

Abstract

The main objective of this study is to propose a simple design of geothermal heating and cooling system and test this design's feasibility. Findings: In this study, it was observed that this system was able to maintain a room temperature of 25°C. Novelty/Applications: The novelty lies in the use of the concept of constant ground temperatures of the earth in an air conditioning system that uses water as a refrigerant with no use of heat pump which can provide both heating and cooling. This system can be modified or upgraded according to the needs of a person. This system can be a replacement for air coolers in industries where air conditioners cannot be used.
