Heating and Cooling Performance Analysis of the Horizontal Ground Source Heat Pump for Sivas Conditions

In this experimental study, a horizontal ground source heat pump was applied to a total of 51.3 m(3) volume consisting of two rooms and the performance analysis for heating and cooling in Sivas province were investigated. The values obtained on 16 December and 29 June which were typical winter/summer days were used for heating and cooling in winter and summer data measurements. In this way, it is aimed to determine the behavioral characteristics of the ground source heat pump application in Sivas province. The indoor and outdoor temperatures, ground temperatures measured at 4 different depths and the inlet and outlet temperatures of the heat pump elements were recorded. The measured datas were used to calculate the coefficient of performance values of the system and heat pump. By using the experimental datas, the average coefficient of performance values in heating mode were calculated as 2.10 and 1.83 for the heat pump and the system respectively, and also in cooling mode 4.79 for the heat pump and 3.86 for the system respectively. In addition, the average value of the heating power consumption for the heat pump was 2.83 kW and the average value of the cooling power consumption was 1.69 kW.
