Abstract: The article compares the thermal performance of two types of ground-air heat exchangers (GAHEs). The subject of the study included a new type of tube exchanger with a two-level arrangement and an innovative plate exchanger, in which the air is in direct contact with the ground. Experimental tests of the two systems were conducted in identical weather and ground conditions, and in the same surface area of the exchangers, 12 m × 28 m.
