EAHE-Earth Air Heat Exchanger

Abstract

Earth air heat exchanger or earth tube heat exchanger is a device used to produce heating effects in winter andcooling effects in summer using the ground or soil as a source or sink. Till date many researchers haveimplemented numerous ideas, conducted experiments on EAHE with different parameters depending on thelocation and found optimum values of parameters for better performance. The present study reviews thepreviously conducted studies in terms of performance assessment with effects of various parameters likematerial of construction, depth from earth surface, velocity of air and length of pipe
