Full Description

A detailed component-based simulation model of a geothermal heat pump system has been calibrated to monitor data taken from a family housing unit located at Fort Polk, Louisiana. This simulation model represents the housing unit's geothermal heat pump, ground heat exchanger, thermostat, blower, and ground-loop pump. Each of these component models was "tuned" to better match the measured data from the site. These tuned models were then interconnected to form the system model. The system model was then exercised in order to demonstrate its capabilities.
