Development of a web-based screening tool for ground source heat pump applications
Liu, Xiaobing; Degraw, Jason; Malhotra, Mini; Forman, Wes; Adams, Mark; Accawi, Gina; Brass, Brett; Kunwar, Niraj; New, Joshua; Guo, Jean (International Ground Source Heat Pump Association, 2022)Ground source heat pump (GSHP) technology has great potential to help the nation meet its energy and decarbonization goals, but several barriers hinder the wide application of GSHP. Important barriers include the lack of ... -
Energy performance evaluation of a recycled water heat pump system in cool and dry climate zone
Im, Piljae; Liu, Xiaobing (International Ground Source Heat Pump Association, 2017)This paper presents performance evaluation results for a recycled water heat pump (RWHP) system, which uses the recycled water from a municipal water system as a heat sink and heat source for heat pumps. The temperature ... -
Experimental performance analysis of a dual source heat pump integrated with thermal energy storage
Wang, Lingshi; Liu, Xiaobing; Shen, Bo; Liu, Xiaoli; Gehl, Anthony; Shi, Liang; Qu, Ming (International Ground Source Heat Pump Association, 2022)To mitigate disturbances to the electric grid resulting from the growing penetration of intermittent and decentralized renewable generation, a dual-source (air source and ground source) heat pump (DSHP) integrated with ... -
Ground heat exchanger design tool with rowwise placement of boreholes
Spitler, Jeffrey D.; West, Timothy; Liu, Xiaobing (International Ground Source Heat Pump Association, 2022)Simulation-based design tools have been used since the late 1980s for designing ground heat exchangers (GHE) used with ground source heat pump (GSHP) systems. The ground heat exchanger simulations used in these tools rely ... -
Impact analysis of heating electrification in US buildings with geothermal heat pumps
Liu, Xiaobing; Malhotra, Mini; Li, Yanfei; Lian, Jamie; Wang, Xiaofei; Ho, Jonathan (International Ground Source Heat Pump Association, 2022)Few studies have investigated the impacts of large-scale deployment of geothermal heat pumps (GHPs, also called ground source heat pumps) on the electric grid. GHPs utilize the ground as a heat source to warm buildings ... -
Open library of g-functions for 34,321 configurations
Spitler, Jeffrey D.; West, Timothy; Liu, Xiaobing; Borshon, Ishraque (International Ground Source Heat Pump Association, 2022)Thermal response functions, known as g-functions, are commonly used in ground heat exchanger design tools and whole building energy simulation programs to simulate the ground heat exchanger performance. Calculation of ... -
