Numerical and parametric analysis of vertical input and output parts of an air-soil heat exchanger in Sahelian zone

Abstract

 In the Sahelian zone, air conditioning in house by air-soil heat exchangers is an alternative in the context of insufficient of electrical energy. In this work, we carried out a numerical and parametric analysis of the vertical parts of an air-soil heat exchanger. This study provided a better understanding of the influence of parameters such as air velocity, soil temperature and air inlet temperature on the operation of the vertical inlet and outlet parts of the system.
