Utilizing Heat Dump Capacity of a Small Pond Attached to Infloor Slab of a Net-Zero Energy House

Year: 2010

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: The model of a small pond connected to the in-floor slab of North House was implemented in TRNSYS software.The design process consisted of developing the small pond model in TRNSYS and then integrating a variety of different components into the overall system.The main objective was to minimize the cooling load and maintain comfortable indoor environment for the occupants.Case studies were conducted to analyze the impact of various flow rates, length of spools in the pond, and dimensions of the small pond on the system.Furthermore simulations were run to identify the optimum characteristics for the small pond in conjunction with a heat pump.
