Special Issue Information
Dear colleagues,
Heat pump technology is one of the most sophisticated engineering achievements for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC). The ground heat exchanger induces heat exchange with the ground formations by means of a heat carrier that circulates through closed pipes or open boreholes installed deep underground. The heat exchangers are connected with a ground heat pump system to save the energy consumption for heating and cooling buildings. For the past decades, emerging technology has promoted remarkable developments, which necessitates compiling each piece of state-of-the-art technology into this Special Issue that seeks to promote and disseminate knowledge on the various topics and technologies of ground heat pump systems and components. We invite comprehensive reviews and original research articles. Based on your expertise, you could make an excellent contribution to this Special Issue. Papers addressing, but not limited to, the following topics are recommended:
- High-efficiency heat pump systems
- Thermally driven heat pump/refrigeration
- Heat and mass transfer enhancement
- Innovative ground heat exchangers
- Computational fluid dynamics/numerical experiments
- Design/system optimization and dynamic control

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Energies is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
