In the Sahelian zone, air conditioning in house by air-soil heat exchangers is an alternative in the context of insufficient of electrical energy. In this work, we carried out a numerical and experimental study of thermal efficiency of an air-soil heat exchanger. This study provided an estimation of thermal efficiency of an experimental air-soil heat exchanger during June, July and August 2016.
Numerical results provided a better understanding of the influence of parameters such as tube
length, air velocity and soil temperature on the thermal efficiency of this system.
