Abstract

Geothermal energy in Jordan is a low-emission and renewable source that could provide households and commercial buildings with both heating and cooling. Access to this ‘free’ energy may be available just a few feet underground. Thus, the objectives of this research are: Designing ground heat exchanger to utilize geothermal energy in heating in which the primary geothermal fluid is exchanged with secondary clean fluid The feasibility of designing ground heat exchanger system to pumping geothermal energy under the climate of Jordan weather in Ma'en area Amount of energy saved The design procedure involves applying the energy and the momentum equations around the geothermal fluid circuit. The FLUENT software program is used to calculate the ground heat exchanger parameters and the amount of energy saved. Finally, the feasibility study shows that the Geoexchange systems represent a savings to homeowners of around 70% in the heating mode, and up to 50% in the cooling mode compared with conventional fossil fuel systems.
