Numerical evaluation of the performance of a single-well groundwater source heat pump system in Beijing, China

Shallow geothermal energy is stable and clean. Using a heat pump to produce groundwater and realize heating and cooling can effectively prevent haze and reduce energy consumption. To reduce engineering costs, many buildings in Beijing, China, plan to utilize single-well groundwater source heat pumps. Numerical modeling is an effective way to gain an understanding of thermal transport processes. However, wellbore-reservoir coupling and the...
