- Abstract
Ground source heat pump (GSHP) system is a renewable energy technology with high efficient for energy saving in heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems. The objective of this study is to evaluate exergoeconomic of GSHP and economic analysis of GSHP instead of conventional systems in Iran condition. We examine the feasibility of using horizontal ground heat exchangers, while abundant land space is available for the installation. In order to design the GSHP, we analyzed the thermal diffusivity and the size of ground loop heat exchanger. These systems are counted among renewable energy technologies, though heat pump operation typically consumes electricity and thus only a fraction of the energy produced is actually greenhouse gas (GHG) emission free. Thermal diffusivity value was found $0.086 $ and the ground heat exchanger length calculated $2900$ meters. The payback period time for the system is 15 years.Faculty of Mechanical Eng. of K. N.
