Wells houses are an important part of the construction of irrigation projects relying on groundwater. Pumps, power distribution cabinets, valves, frequency converters and other equipment are installed in the houses. Extreme low temperature will bring adverse effects and even cause damage on equipment, as a result, shorten equipment service life. A new insulation well house is developed in this paper, and insulation materials are filled in the gap of its wall. The well house is heated through carbon fiber and solar energy and its foundation is insulated by foam boards. The field test results show that the profile of daily-averaged temperature difference between inside and outside of the well house is basically parabolic. The temperature difference is higher when outside temperature drops. The maximum temperature difference is up to 18 ℃ or so in winter. Results show the integrated well house will obviously and effectively reduce frost damage of equipment in seasonal frozen districts.
