Abstract

In this article, we present a geothermal installation designed to ensure the heating and cooling of a detached house located in Tlemcen city at Algeria country. The thermal behavior of the coaxial and double U borehole heat exchangers was investigated using numerical simulations by EWS (ErdWäemeSonden) software, in both long and short-terms. The analysis was conducted considering two different types of ground with different thermal conductivity values. As result, the more conductive ground type highlights the higher yield of the coaxial probe.
