在現在科技日新月異的時代中,能源的使用是日益增長,舉凡綠建築、智慧電網等都需要使用到電力。本研究將著重於鑽井式U形管土壤熱交換器之排熱性能分析,嘗試改變水管之外型與材質並找出能提高土壤熱交換器效率的方式。吾人利用商用套裝軟體ANSYS Fluent建立幾何外型和網格劃分,並且利用Fluent求解器進行模擬計算,最後再將結果匯入Tecplot進行分析及討論。吾人維持U形管的截面積進行分形結構,並且改變管壁材質尋求更佳的散熱效果。模擬結果分析顯示,無論是PVC材質或是碳鋼材質,皆是分形後的星形管的出口溫度最低,而當中碳鋼材質所增加的熱傳效率亦是星形管增加最多,但是使用碳鋼材質的圓管,出口溫度已經低於使用PVC材質的星形管,因此若要使管內溫度下降,除了參考文獻所提到的採用不同的回填土材質,亦可從管壁材質上進行改變。
In the generation of ever-changing technology, the use of energy is increasing. Green buildings, smart grids, etc. are all required to use electricity. This study will focus on the analysis of the thermal performance of drilling U-tube soil heat exchangers and try to change the shapes and material of the pipes, then find out ways to increase the efficiency of the soil heat exchanger. The project will use the commercial software ANSYS Fluent to create geometric shapes and meshes, and use the Fluent solver to perform simulation calculations. Finally, the results will be imported into Tecplot for analysis and discussion. We maintain the cross-sectional area of the U-tube for fractal structures and change the material of the tube wall for better heat dissipation. According to the analysis of the simulation results, fractal star pipes have the lowest outlet temperatures in both the PVC material and the carbon steel material. And the star tube increasing the most heat transfer efficiency from the carbon steel material. The round pipe which use the carbon steel pipe, which the outlet temperature has been lower than the star tube using PVC material. So we can change the tube’s material to reduce the temperature in the tube except to the reference mentioned in the use of different backfill material.
