    The document is a project report on an Earth Tube Heat Exchanger. It includes sections on the abstract, introduction, literature review, design, objectives, material selection, tube arrangement, working principle, budget, applications, advantages, limitations, and conclusion. The earth tube heat exchanger uses the stable underground temperature for heating and cooling buildings, which can reduce energy costs. It works by circulating air through buried pipes to exchange heat with the soil.

    The report discusses the design, working, advantages, limitations and applications of an Earth Tube Heat Exchanger, which uses underground temperatures via a network of tubes to heat and cool buildings.

    An Earth Tube Heat Exchanger is a system that uses the stable underground temperature via a network of buried tubes to heat or cool air for buildings. It works on the principle of heat transfer where the underground air is used to temper the incoming air through the tubes before it enters the building.

    Factors considered in designing an ETHE include tube material selection based on properties like conductivity, strength and cost. Other factors are tube length, diameter, depth and arrangement in either a closed or open loop system.

    ABSTRACT

    • Now a day we all are aware of the increasing price of


    electricity.
    • So, everyone is moving towards sustainable living. In this case,
    Earth Tube Heat Exchanger is the best choice for the HVAC
    facility.
    • Earth Tube Heat Exchanger works the basic principles of a
    heat transfer and uses geothermal energy as a source of
    energy.
    INTRODUCTION

    • Worldwide, it is estimated that the residential buildings,


    offices, and stores consume around 40% of our energy and
    70% of our electricity.
    • Heating and cooling for residential, commercial, and industrial
    purposes account for a large share of total final energy
    demand.
    LITERATURE REVIEW
    • The early exploration of its use in colling commercial livestock
    building
    • ETHE is used to condition the air in livestock building.
    • There has also been work in india . It has been installed in
    1998 in guesthouse.
    • Is used to condition the air in livestock buildings. Its used in
    katch
    DESIGN
    • Tube Material: While selecting the tube material for ETHE we have to
    consider given properties like strength, corrosion resistance,
    durability, and cost of the material.
    • Tube Length: Heat transfer depends on the surface area. The surface
    area of a pipe depends on: a) Diameter. b) Length
    • Tube Diameter: Smaller diameter gives better thermal performance
    but results in larger pressure drops increased diameter results in a
    reduction in air speed and heat transfer.
    • Tube Depth: Ground temperature affected by the:
    a) External climate.
    b) Soil Composition.
    c) Water Content.
    d) Thermal Properties.
    OBJECTIVE
    • Earth tube heat exchanger is a creative way to use the
    geothermal energy to our advantage, both for heating and
    cooling inside the living area.

    • To find an alternative solution for active heating and cooling


    system like air conditioning, heater.
    • Taking advantage of the encircling environment and ground
    temperature.
    • Moving towards a renewable source of energy.
    • Addressing technology that is more environments friendly.
    • Reducing energy consumption by heating and cooling system.
    MATERIAL SELECTION
    • The tube is the main element of ETHE. There are certain
    properties we have to take into consideration while finalizing
    the tube material.
    • Tube material must have good thermal conductivity, strength,
    corrosion resistance, durability, and the cost of the tube
    material.

    • Copper has a thermal conductivity of 385 W/mk.


    • Aluminum has a thermal conductivity of 205 W/mk.
    • Brass has a thermal conductivity of 109W/mk.
    • Iron has a thermal conductivity of 79.5 W/mk.
    • Steel has a thermal conductivity of 50.2 W/mk.
    • PVC has a thermal conductivity of 0.19 W/mk.
    TUBE ARREGMENT
    • EAT can be used in either
    closed loop system
    open loop system
    • Open loop system
    outdoor air is drawn into tube and delivered to AHU or
    directly to the inside of the building .
    provides ventilation while hopefully cooling or heating
    the building interior
    • Closed loop system
    Interior air circulates through EAT
    Increase efficiency
    Reduces problem with humidity
    WORKING
    BUDGET
    • Depends on actual side and capacity and area of cooling
    APPLICATION

    • USED IN HOME

    • COMMERCIAL BULDINGS , HOSPITAL , SCHOOLS , OFFICE

    • HOSPITAL

    • GREEN HOUSE
    ADVANTAGES
    • ETHE based system caused no toxic emission and therefore are
    not detrimental to environment

    • Ground source heat pump do use so refrigerant but much less


    than the conventional system

    • EHTE based system for cooling do not need water – a feature


    valuable in aired areas like Kutch . It’s this feature that
    motivated our work on ETHE development

    • ETHE have long life and requires only low maintained.


    LIMITATION

    • Requires large space


    • Give a limited cooling effect
    • Initial cost is high
    CONCLUSION
    • Higher COP can be obtained when temperature difference is
    greater and this can be achieved by using longer pipe for more
    heat transfer which we have incorporated.
    • Increased length decreased diameter and increased mass flow
    rate gives better efficiency
    • Material of the pipe does not affect the performance of the
    heat exchanger.
    • Also since the thickness of the pipe is very small the
    convective heat transfer rate is more than conductive heat
    transfer rate
