Study on the Long-Term Performance and Efficiency of Single-Well Circulation Coupled Groundwater Heat Pump System Based on Field Test

Although buildings are often heated and cooled by single-well circulation coupled groundwater heat pump systems, few studies have evaluated the long-term performance of these systems. Therefore, the present study investigated the performance of these systems by analyzing the efficiency and energy co...
