| Abstract |
The aim of this study is to investigate the performance of a heating and cooling system with aquifer thermal energy storage(ATES heat pump system) known as one of the underground thermal energy storage application systems. The ATES system was composed of heat pump unit and ATES, which was installed in a factory building located in Anseoung. The system represented very high heating and cooling performance, and showed nearly constant COP at each heating and cooling season due to the stability of EWT. The economic analysis about an ATES system and a conventional system was also executed. The conventional system adopted an air-conditioner in the summer season and a LNG boiler in the winter season. The payback period of the ATES system was estimated by 6.62 years. |
