Impacts of hydrogeological characters of fractured rock on thermodynamic performance of ground-coupled heat pump.

Ground-coupled heat pump (GCHP) is used to recovery shallow geothermal energy, a widely distributed green energy source. Due to the imbalance between heat rejection and extraction, heat buildup underground is commonly associated with the long-term operation of GCHPs, which undermine system performan...
