    • Field Performance of a Ground-Coupled Heat Pump in Abilene, Texas 
      Dobson, M.; O'Neal, D. L.; Aldred, W.; Margo, R. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1994)
      A nominal 10.6 kW (3 ton), vertical-configuration ground-coupled heat pump was installed in Abilene, Texas in December 1989 and was monitored until May 1993 using a remote data acquisition system. The unit was installed ...
    • A Modified Analytical Method for Simulating Cyclic Operation of Vertical U-Tube Ground-Coupled Heat Pumps 
      Dobson, M. K.; O'Neal, D. L.; Aldred, W. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), Texas A&M University; Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1994)
      A modified analytical model is presented which discretizes the ground-coupled heat exchanger of a ground-coupled heat pump and utilized a separate cylindrical source solution for each element. First law expressions are ...
    • A Simplified Procedure for Sizing Vertical Ground Coupled Heat Pump Heat Exchangers for Residences in Texas 
      O'Neal, D. L.; Gonzalez, J. A.; Aldred, W. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1994)
      A simplified technique for the sizing of vertical U-tube ground coupled heat pump (GCHP) heat exchangers for Texas climates was developed utilizing a transient simulation model of a ground coupled heat pump and weather and ...
