Dynamic simulation and experimental validation of a two-phase closed thermosyphon for geothermal application

The heat transfer performance of a vertical two-phase closed thermosyphon (TPCT) used in a geothermal heat pump was experimentally investigated. The TPCT is a vertical plain steel pipe with inner diameter of 114 mm and bored 368 m deep underground. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is used as working fluid. In t...
