Abstract:
The article is describing temperature changes in the ground massif with Slinky heat exchanger. The exchanger serves as a heat source for a heat pump which is used for cold water warming and a heating of the administration building. The aim of the research is to analyse the influence of the Slinky heat exchanger to the temperature of the ground massif while extracting heat energy at the beginning and during the heating season, as well as beyond it. The temperature process of the ground massif is described near the exchanger, on a reference lot in burial depth of the heat exchanger and also in a depth of 0.2 m. The energy potential of the ground massif was evaluated using the temperature differences of ground massif in the area of the Slinky heat exchanger at the beginning and at the end of the heating season.
Key words:
ground massif, heat source, heating season, Slinky heat exchanger.
