Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Standing column wells are semi-open-loop ground heat exchangers that can achieve highly efficient thermal exchange rates through the strategic control of the pumping and bleed flow rates. The management of groundwater discharges associated with bleed use remains a challenge. A solution is inter-well reinjection , which proposes to imbalance the return flow rates between the standing column wells. This approach has been shown to be more efficient than fully balanced recirculation, although a direct comparison with a conventional bleed operation has not yet been conducted. To provide a robust evaluation of inter-well reinjection performance, a 35-day-long experiment is conducted on five standing column wells connected to a real building. The experimental transfer functions representing the operating modes tested (full recirculation, bleed, and inter-well reinjection) are evaluated using a non-stationary deconvolution algorithm and their adequacy with the conceptual site model is verified by comparison with numerical transfer functions obtained in a Monte-Carlo experiment. The results indicate that inter-well reinjection leads to a 10% higher thermal efficiency in the scenarios tested compared to full recirculation, albeit with a slightly reduced performance compared to typical bleed use. This confirms the potential of inter-well reinjection for boosting the efficiency of thermal exchange in SCWs while facilitating groundwater management and avoiding the installation of costly injection facilities. The methodology used to evaluate the experimental transfer functions is also found to be robust, as it allowed the reproduction of the measured temperatures with a root mean square error of 0.04 ° C . Lastly, comparison of the experimental transfer functions with the Monte-Carlo experiment suggests that the accuracy of the conceptual model could be improved.
