Parametric Investigation of Thermal Performance in Energy Piles and the Influence of Pile Spacing

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Experimental investigation of the effects of various parameters and pile spacing on the thermal performance of energy piles is not practical in terms of cost and time. Therefore, numerical modeling studies are becoming increasingly important in such topics. In this thesis, a numerical modeling study was conducted to examine the effects of heat exchanger pipe diameter, number, position within the pile, and pile diameter, as well as the number of piles and the spacing between them, on the thermal performance of energy piles.
