Abstract—The temperature of earth at a certain depth about 2 to 3 m the temperature of ground remains nearly constant throughout the year. This constant temperature is called the undisturbed temperature of earth which remains higher than the outside temperature in winter and lower than the outside temperature in summer. When ambient air is drawn through buried pipes, the air is cooled in summer and heated in winter, before it is used for ventilation. The earth air heat exchanger can fulfil in both purpose heating in winter and cooling in summer. This paper investigates the experimental studies on earth air heat exchanger system in parallel connection in the summer climate. In the proposed work to investigates the experimental studies on earth tube heat exchanger cooling of air in summer and heating with air in winter climate in LNCT Energy Park Raisen Road Bhopal, M.P.
