Abstract

The use of energy pile foundation has been increased for economic utilization of geothermal energy. In particular, a coil-shaped ground heat exchanger (GHE) is preferred than conventional U-shaped heat exchanger to ensure better efficiency of heat exchange rate. This paper presents experimental results by changing different pitch spaces of spiral coils. Joomunjin sand was filled in a steel box of which the size was $5m{\times}1m{\times}1m$. Thermal response tests (TRTs) were conducted to measure the ground thermal conductivity with temperatures of circulating water using line source model and ring coil model. Experimental results and analytical solutions were compared to validate the applicability of these models. Ring coil model showed more accurate similar results with experimental data rather than line source model and cylindrical source model.

최근 들어 경제적인 에너지 활용을 위하여 지열에너지 필요성이 증대되고 있다. 특히 보편적으로 사용되고 있는 U자형 지중열교환기보다 열교환 면적이 넓어 더 높은 열 교환 효율을 보이는 코일형 지중열교환기의 적용이 확대되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 다양한 피치 간격에 따른 코일형 지중열교환기의 실험적 연구를 수행하였다. $5m{\times}1m{\times}1m$ 크기의 모형 토조 내에 주문진 모래가 균질하게 조성되었으며 열응답 시험이 수행되었다. 코일형 지중열교환기 내를 순환하는 순환수 온도값을 이용하여 선형 열원 이론과 고리-코일 열원 모델을 적용하여 지반의 열전도도를 도출하였다. 또한 모형 토조 내의 코일에서 일정한 거리의 계측 온도값과 이론해를 비교하였으며 고리-코일 열원 모델이 선형 열원 모델과 원통형 열원 모델보다 코일형 지중열교환기가 설치된 지반의 온도값을 보다 정확하게 예측함을 알 수 있다.
