30 UMASS AMHERST Continuing & Professional Education GeoScience Series Geothermal Heat Pumps: Concept to Completion 29 GSHP Vocabulary BTU – British Thermal Unit: energy required to raise 1 lb water 1 °F Therm – 1 Therm = 100,000 BTU Ton – 12,000 BTU/h: the amount of heat required to melt 1 ton of ice in 24 hours So, 288,000 BTU to melt 1 ton of ice

31 UMASS AMHERST Continuing & Professional Education GeoScience Series Geothermal Heat Pumps: Concept to Completion 30 Thermal Conductivity Thermal Conductivity equivalent to Hydraulic Conductivity D constant head reservoir L Sand Darcy’s Experiment (1857) Q   h Q   L Q  A ∆h Q Q  (  h/L) A

32 UMASS AMHERST Continuing & Professional Education GeoScience Series Geothermal Heat Pumps: Concept to Completion 31 Q/A gradient slope = K = Hydraulic Conductivity Rewrite, Q = Darcy’s Law K  h/L) A For heat flow: Q = heat flow in Btu/hr  h/L = temperature gradient = ∆T/L (°F/ft) A = cross sectional area of flow = L 2 (ft 2 ) K = thermal conductivity = ʎ (Btu/hr/°F/ft)

33 UMASS AMHERST Continuing & Professional Education GeoScience Series Geothermal Heat Pumps: Concept to Completion 32 Pulling terms together, Q = ʎ (∆T/L) A ʎ = QL/∆TA Units are: Btu/hr/°F/ft 1 Unit Volume 1 1 Conceptually, Temperature Gradient = 1 1 1 ʎ = Heat Flow in Btu/hr through a unit length of material per unit area under a unit temperature gradient

34 UMASS AMHERST Continuing & Professional Education GeoScience Series Geothermal Heat Pumps: Concept to Completion 33 Specific Heat Capacity c p - Specific heat capacity is the amount heat energy a unit mass of material takes into storage or releases from storage per unit change in T 1Btu/lb/°F This is equivalent to specific storage in hydrogeology

39 UMASS AMHERST Continuing & Professional Education GeoScience Series Geothermal Heat Pumps: Concept to Completion 38 Heat Capacity and Specific Heat Capacity Two important relationships: C = c p x total mass of material being heated C = s x total volume of material being heated

40 UMASS AMHERST Continuing & Professional Education GeoScience Series Geothermal Heat Pumps: Concept to Completion 39 Thermal Diffusivity Thermal Diffusivity equivalent to Transmissivity D = ʎ / c p ρ D is a measure of the rate at which a temperature disturbance at one point in a body travels to another point in the body – similar to transmissivity English Units are: ft 2 /hr Thermal conductivity / volumetric heat capacity

41 UMASS AMHERST Continuing & Professional Education GeoScience Series Geothermal Heat Pumps: Concept to Completion 40 GSHP Efficiency Terminology Coefficient of Performance – COP energy in or energy output (Btu/h) electrical energy needed (Btu/h) at a specific T Energy Efficiency Ratio – EER (steady state cooling eff.) cooling capacity (BTU/h) electrical energy input (Btu/h) at a specific T Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) total cooling over entire cooling season (BTU/h) electrical energy used over cooling season (Btu/h) EER = 0.875 x SEER

43 UMASS AMHERST Continuing & Professional Education GeoScience Series Geothermal Heat Pumps: Concept to Completion 42 Important Conversions & Calculations 1 Watt = 1 Joule/sec 1 Watt = 3.412 BTU/hr 1 Btu = heat to raise 1 lb of water 1 degree Farenheit 12,000 Btu’s per hour = 1 ton

44 UMASS AMHERST Continuing & Professional Education GeoScience Series Geothermal Heat Pumps: Concept to Completion 43 A Useful Calculation Flow (gpm) x T difference (°F) x 500 = Q (Btu/hr) Eg., ((1 gpm x 60 min/hr)/7.481 gal/ft 3 ) x 62.4 lbs/ft 3 = 498 lbs water/hr (~500 lbs/hr) In a closed loop system: for a 10 degree temperature difference 1 gpm x 500 lbs/hr x 10 °F temp diff. = 5000 Btu/hr Therefore, 1 gpm adds 5000 Btu’s of heat per hour 5000 Btu/hr / 12,000 Btu/hr/ton = 0.42 tons or 1 gpm flow needed per 0.42 tons or 2.4 gpm required per ton of heating or cooling when you have a 10° temp. diff.

45 UMASS AMHERST Continuing & Professional Education GeoScience Series Geothermal Heat Pumps: Concept to Completion The Thermodynamics of it All: Do GSHPs Work in Cold Climates? Coefficient of Performance (COP) = Heat Energy Output Electric Energy Input Industry claims COP ranging from 3 to 6 From the Second Law of Thermodynamics and the Carnot cycle: COP theoretical limit = Indoor Temperature (Indoor Temperature - Temperature of Heat Source/Sink) 44

46 UMASS AMHERST Continuing & Professional Education GeoScience Series Geothermal Heat Pumps: Concept to Completion Thermodynamics (continued) Degrees Farenheit to degrees Kelvin conversion: °K = 5/9 (°F - 32) + 273 Example: Heat a dwelling to 70 °F ~ 294 °K Ambient groundwater temperature in Massachusetts is typically about 54 °F ~ 285 °K From the Carnot cycle: COP theoretical limit = 294 °K = 33 294 °K – 285 °K 45

47 UMASS AMHERST Continuing & Professional Education GeoScience Series Geothermal Heat Pumps: Concept to Completion Thermodynamics (continued) What happens to the theoretical efficiency toward the end of the heating season if the entering water temperature has dropped to 35 °F? 35 °F ~ 275 °K COP theoretical limit = 294 °K = 15 294 °K – 275 °K 46

48 UMASS AMHERST Continuing & Professional Education GeoScience Series Geothermal Heat Pumps: Concept to Completion Thermodynamics (continued) Why is the theoretical heat pump efficiency many times greater than the actual COP? No heat pump is 100% efficient - Not all of the energy put into the heat pump is converted into the work of pumping heat – some energy “lost” as waste heat It takes energy to pump the heat transfer fluid through the ground coupled part of the system and the air or water through the building’s heating ducts 47
