Abstract:The rock and soil mass with great thickness distributed in the alluvialproluvial fan in Sihe River. Shallow geothermal energy has enormous exploitation and utilization potentiality. Finding out the temperature selfrecovery capacity of the rock and soil mass and analyzing the influencing factors will provide important reference for engineering design of groundsource heat pumps. Many groups of thermal response tests have been carried out. By adopting highprecision temperature measuring cables, changes in the temperature of the rock and soil mass with different lithologies and different depths around the ground heat exchanger have been monitored in a long period. It is showed that the temperature recovery ability of sandy soil is much stronger than that of cohesive soil under the same conditions, and the recovery of soil temperature mainly occurs at the early stage of load stopping. The cohesive soil in the study area has bad temperature selfrecovery capacity, main factors that influence the geothermal field selfrecovery include thermophysical parametersof the rock and soil, runoff conditions of underground water, buried pipe circulating water temperature, air temperature and the depth of temperature changing zones.
