An analysis of thermal performance of a vertical Borehole Heat Exchanger (BHE) from a close loop Ground Source Heat Pump (GSHP) located in Guayaquil-Ecuador is presented. The project aims to assess the influence of using novels heat transfer fluids such as nanofluids, slurries with microencapsulated phase change materials and a mixture of both. The BHEs sensitive evaluation is performed by a mathematical model in a finite element analysis by using computational tools; where, the piping array is studied in one dimension scenario meanwhile its surroundings grout and ground volumes are presented as a three dimensional scheme. Therefore, an optimized model design can be achieved which would allow to study the feasibility of GSHP in buildings and industries in Guayaquil-Ecuador.
