How does the temperature of the irrigation water affect the performance of a geothermal irrigation preheating system?

The temperature of the irrigation water has a significant impact on the performance of a geothermal irrigation preheating system. The system’s heat transfer capacity and efficiency are affected by the temperature difference between the irrigation water and the ground loop fluid. A larger temperature difference can increase the system’s heat transfer capacity, but may also increase energy consumption. Optimal system design and operation require careful consideration of the irrigation water temperature and its impact on the system’s performance.
