Earth-water heat exchanger is a heat exchanger which is utilized for cooling or heating a space with no or minimum consumption of electricity. The main objective of this project is to do a CFD analysis of a Earth Water Heat Exchanger (EWHE). The demand of cooling has been increased (to maintain the human comfort) due to the increase in temperature of environment due to various factor like global warming, geographical location and change in human life style. The demand has been increased mainly for the industries and for household purposes. The conventional cooling systems use quite a high amount of electricity and also emit chemical pollutants (CFC)s in the air. Here CFD analysis is to be done on EWHE which consumes less electricity and is eco-friendly. This system using the underground temperature maintains the thermal condition in room. The main advantage of this system is that it can provide heating during winter and cooling during summer as the temperature remains constant irrespective of the weather conditions. The analysis of this project is going to be done according to the weather conditions in Vadodara as the average temperature between March and July is around 40 °C and it is 30°C from November to February. The material of the pipe which will be used in our project is copper and the depth in the underground may be 3 metre. The analysis of this project will be done in ANSYS which is a simulation software for thermal and fluid analysis. The conclusion of this project will be done after the analysis in the software.
