Information

This example models a borehole heat exchanger with two pipes that are symmetrically spaced. The simulation period is 5 years. From the 4th to the 10th months, the mass flow source switches on the flow rate through the borehole. The leaving water of the mass flow source is 25°C, and the water that returns from the borehole is between 20.5°C and 21.5°C.
