将五个实际的垂直地下换热器尺寸方案的结果与一个详细的模拟模型进行比较，该模型根据一户人家的监测数据进行校准。详细模型与数据的校准在一篇配套论文中进行了描述。说明比较结果表明，目前常用的垂直地下换热器尺寸确定方法之间的一致性水平。建议使用其他站点的数据集重复校准和比较练习，以建立对实际尺寸确定方法的信心。单位:双关键词:1997年，热交换器，土壤热交换器，立式，热泵，土壤热泵，住房，美国，尺寸，比较，计算机程序，校准引文:研讨会，ASHRAE交易，第103卷，第2部分，波士顿1997

Compares the results of five practical vertical ground heat exchanger sizing programs against a detailed simulation model calibrated to monitored data taken from one family house. The calibration of the detailed model to data is described in a companion paper. States the results of the comparisons demonstrate the current level of agreement between vertical ground heat exchanger sizing methods in common use. Recommends that the calibration and comparison exercise be repeated with data sets from additional sites in order to build confidence in the practical sizing methods.Units: DualKEYWORDS: year 1997, Heat exchangers, soil heat exchangers, vertical, heat pumps, soil heat pumps, housing, USA, sizing, comparing, computer programs, calibrating
