TY - JOUR TI - Research on heat pipe air-conditioner with soil heat exchanger for base station AU - Zhang Ying AU - Jin Luqi AU - Fan Xiaowei AU - Zhang Zhuming JN - Thermal Science PY - 2024 VL - 28 IS - 3 SP - 2075 EP - 2081 PT - Article AB - The refrigeration system accounts for 40-60% of the total energy consumption of the base station, so an effective energy-saving technology is much needed. This paper proposes a heat pipe air-conditioner with an additional soil heat exchange unit. When the indoor and outdoor temperature difference is small, the indoor heat can be scattered to the soil to achieve energy-saving effect.
