Enhanced heat extraction for deep borehole heat exchanger through the jet grouting method using high thermal conductivity material

In this work, a novel enhanced deep borehole heat exchanger (EDBHE) was proposed to improve heat extraction efficiency based on the jet grouting method. By means of this technology, a soilcrete zone with high thermal conductivity was built near the wellbore. To analyze the feasibility and efficiency of this method, we firstly constructed a validated deep borehole heat exchanger (DBHE) model based on the field experimental data. Numerical simulations were carried out to investigate the 30-year production performance of EDBHE. Results demonstrated that the jet grouting method is an efficient way for improving thermal output of DBHE. It is evaluated that the average annual heat production rate over a 30-year heating period of EDBHE is 463.2 kW, which is 1.27 times as that of DBHE. Sensitivity analyses indicate that the heat production rate and outlet temperature mainly depend on the height and radius of the artificial soilcrete zone. However, thermal output is not sensitive to thermal conductivity of the soilcrete zone due to the higher thermal resistance of the geological formation. For the experimental site used in this work, the recommended height, radius, and thermal conductivity of the soilcrete are 1000 m, 1.0 m, and 50 W/m °C, respectively.
