Example model with several borefield configurations operating simultaneously

Buildings.Fluid.Geothermal.Borefields.Examples.Borefields

Information

This example shows three different borefields, each with a different configuration (single U-tube, double U-tube in parallel, and double U-tube in series) and compares the thermal behaviour of the circulating fluid in each case.

Example model of a rectangular borefield

Buildings.Fluid.Geothermal.Borefields.Examples.RectangularBorefield

Information

This example model illustrates how to configure the layout of the boreholes for a rectangular borefield. The configuration is

cooBor = {{dBorHol*mod((i-1),nXBorHol), dBorHol*floor((i-1)/nXBorHol)} for i in 1:nBorHol}

where dBorHol is the distance between the boreholes, nXBorHol is the number of boreholes in the x-direction, and nBorHol is the total number of boreholes.
