摘要:
A geothermal energy installation and system, in which the field of potable water is utilized by a secondary conduit system to route potable water from an inlet in the user's line coming from the potable water field but upstream of the user's meter, through the heat exchanger equipment of a user, and back to the field at a point upstream of the final treatment processing stage of the field. Thus, the thermal energy of the water of the field is utilized without adding the cost of the volume of potable water use by the user, and is re-processed if somehow contaminated in the secondary conduit systems; and although the secondary conduit system delivers water back to the field at a changed temperature, depending upon the heat exchanger effect, the relatively large volume of water of the potable water field assures that the returned water does not even substantially alter the temperature of the potable water field.

A geothermal energy generation system comprises one or more injection wells for accessing one or more reservoirs having a first temperature, wherein the reservoirs are located below one or more caprocks and are accessible without using large-scale hydrofracturing. Each of the injection wells has an injection well reservoir opening, and one or more production wells each having a production well reservoir opening. A non-water based working fluid can be provided to the injection wells at a second temperature lower than the first temperature. Exposure of the working fluid to the first temperature can produce heated working fluid capable of entering one or more production wells. An energy converting apparatus is connected to each of the one or more injection wells and the one or more productions wells and thermal energy contained in the heated working fluid can be converted to electricity, heat, or combinations thereof, in the energy converting apparatus.
