Flow rate study of geothermal heat exchanger system in north US

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

A feasibility study of installing multiple wellbores geothermal heat exchange system in the Badeen Quad with a complex heating steam tunnel and pipe underground in the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (U of IL) to serve as an additional cooling and heating system for the Campus Instructional Facility (CIF) Building. The initial field condition was simulated before running the numerical simulation for the geothermal heat exchange system. Numerical modeling is conducted on multiple wellbore groups to study the effects of flow rate in heating and cooling the underground space and its ability on the heat storage of the geothermal system. This preliminary study provides a feasibility analysis for running the shallow-depth geothermal heat exchange system.
