Abstract:Through study on the occurrence conditions of shallow geothermal energy in Zhangqiu area, combining with the data of field thermal response test and geotechnical sample test, the suitable zoning for the development and utilization of buried tube heat pump system in the study area is carried out by using the principle of analytic hierarchy process and index method. In addition, the amount of shallow geothermal energy resources is estimated, the potential of exploitation and utilization of resources is evaluated, and the economic and social benefits are analyzed. It is showed that the area of the suitable area is 76.38km2, accounting for 95.48% of the the study area, and the shallow geothermal energy heat capacity of 120m in the suitable area is 21.3228×1012kJ/℃. The ground source heat pump system with buried pipe is used in all the study area. The refrigeration area is 5353.1278×104m2 in summer and the heating area is 6504.6662×104m2 in winter. Therefore, the development and utilization potential of shallow geothermal energy in Zhangqiu area is huge, and the economic and social benefits are obvious.
