[0002] Currently, geothermal heat pump underground heat exchange systems use buried pipe heat exchangers. There are two types of buried pipes: horizontal and vertical. Horizontal buried pipes are usually shallowly buried, with lower excavation technical requirements and lower initial investment than vertical buried pipes, but they occupy a larger area and involve more excavation work. This type was more common in the early applications of ground source heat pump technology, but it is rarely used in current projects.

[0003] Vertical buried pipe ground source heat pump systems occupy a small area and are minimally affected by external factors, making them widely used and developing rapidly. However, in existing vertical buried pipe ground source heat pump systems, a severe imbalance occurs between heat dissipation in summer and heat absorption in winter. Over time, this leads to a gradual increase or decrease in soil temperature, which in turn affects the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger. Utility Model Content
