Geothermal Energy Potential for Cooling/Heating Greenhouses in Hot Arid Regions

Ibrahim Al-Helal et al.

Summary: This study measures the underground temperature profile and determines the optimal conditions for using geothermal effects in heating and cooling applications in arid regions. It also examines the possibility of water vapor condensation in the pipes and quantifies the maximum cooling/heating capacity. The results provide useful information for designers using geothermal effects for indoor space cooling and heating in arid regions.
