Improving Geothermal Heat Pump Air Conditioning Efficiency with Wintertime Cooling using Seasonal Thermal Energy Storage (STES). Application Manual

Abstract

The purpose of this manual is to describe the use of the Seasonal Thermal Energy Storage (STES) technology, particularly through the employment of wintertime cooling. The technology is a means to solve excessive temperature increase in ground source heat pump loops and subsurface media. It gives an example of a recently demonstrated application and provides Energy Managers (EM) and Facility managers (FM) the background to quickly prioritize and document application projects to increase energy efficiency and occupant comfort.
