Abstract

Heat pumps connected to geothermal energy piles have variable operating hours. These variable hours can affect the thermal behaviour of these piles. Some key findings are presented for intermittent (16 hour) and continuous (24 hour) cooling modes in this abstract. It is found that the 16 hour cooling mode is more beneficial in terms of energy extraction, ground recovery, pile temperature and strain recovery.
