Geothermal Energy With Two-Well System

Product Description

Geothermal Energy With Two-Well SystemThe scope of geothermal energy is the study and use of the heat and the temperature distribution in the ground. A near-surface geothermal plant uses the thermal energy stored below the earths surface. Using a two-well system, for example, thermal energy is extracted from the near-surface groundwater for heating purposes. It demonstrates the operation of such a two-well system.Learning objectives/experiments Fundamentals of geothermal useOperating behaviour of a two-well systemHydraulic properties of the groundDetermination of the usable heat capacityFundamentals and energy balance of a simulated heat pump Specification Demonstration and operation of a two-well system for using geothermal energyTemperature-controlled groundwater circuitHeight-adjustable overflows for adjusting the groundwater flowAdjustable flow rate of the pump in the production wellMeasurement of temperature and flow rate to determine the transmitted heat capacityMulti-tube manometer for visualising the groundwater levelsSupply of the working medium via laboratory supply or the water chillerCalculation of the transmitted heat capacity and simulation of the energy balance of a heat pump
