Hi everybody, I’m trying to model an horizontal
pipe array (equivalent to the one used for a heat pump), by using the Type 556 =
detailed buried pipe(from the TESS library). With that, we can get the heat transfer
from the pipe to the ground, but we can’t model the “interference”
caused by the nearby pipes (in our case we have 10 parallel pipes spaced by 250
mm), reducing the efficiency of the heat transfer (compared to 10 isolated pipes
in the ground). My question is : Has someone already made a model of an
horizontal pipe array constituted by parallel arrays or tried to
modify the type 556 for this aim? Thank you. François Badinier Development Engineer ICAX Ltd 1
