Objective
Underground heat exchangers consist of air-conducting pipes buried in the groun d. They are used for preheating air during winter and for pre-cooling during su mmer. They can often considerably reduce losses associated with ventilation and , if appropriately designed, present an exonomic extension or alternative to co nventional heating and cooling systems. For the planned New Acropolis Museum i n Athens, an underground heat exchanger can reduce the cooling power in summer by about 40% and the heating power in winter by about 65% , stated Sebastian He rkel, who is responsible for leading the project. Although a large number of un derground heat exchangers have been installed, there is a lack of simple planni ng tools to provide reliable information and allow the economic and energy pote ntial of this technology to be exploited. On the one hand, underground heat exc hangers are simple to install and operate, but they make high demands on the de sign under the economic boundary conditions. The aim of the project is to devel op a planning tool, with which the project partners can plan underground heat e xchangers reliably and economically. A partnership with a total of 16 member s, of which 13 are SMEs was found to develop the planning tool. The main goals of the project are a design software tool and a planning handbook for earth-to- air heat-exchangers. Measurement campaigns will be carried out within the proje ct to validate the design software and to evaluate a range of individual earth- to-air heat-exchangers.
