Abstract:The ground-air heat exchanger (GAHE) represents an eco-friendly solution for improving temperature conditions and, consequently, lowering the power demand in facilities. The aim of this research is to numerically analyze how the length and position of the phase change material (PCM) affect the behavior of the GAHE. To achieve this, a 3D computational simulation of the PCM integrated with the GAHE was employed, utilizing the equivalent heat capacity approach and tailored to the climate and ground properties of … Show more
