Abstract

The temperature of earth at below ground level around 2 to 5m, is almost remain constant through out of year. This temperature called as Earth Undisturbed temperature EUT. This EUT is higher than atmospherics temperature in winter season. While in reverse condition can find in summer season. In summer season, EUT is always lower than atmospherics outside temperature. The heat exchange is set up at below ground approximately 2 to 5m. The heat exchanger is device exchange heat and gives satisfied utilization of EUT. In summer, the ambient is air pass through this below ground heat exchanger and provide cooling effect to any domestic and industrial building with the help of EUT. While opposite in Winter season the ambient is air pass through this below ground heat exchanger and provide cooling effect to any domestic and industrial building with the help of EUT. In both seasons like in summer and winter; heat exchanger gives efficient result of cooling and heating result respectively. It was found that our aim of designing made us to face designing and analyzing of it by implanting various types of basic fundamentals related to the concepts of Heat Exchanger.
