    Abstract: Provided are a geothermal exchanger including a capillary-type heat pipe, an apparatus for preventing icing on a road/bridge, and a geothermal cooling and heating apparatus. The geothermal exchanger includes: a heat exchange part disposed adjacent to the ground so as to absorb heat from the ground or discharge heat to the ground; and a capillary-type heat pipe for transferring heat, in which a working fluid is injected, one side of the heat pipe for transferring heat being disposed adjacent to the heat exchange part so as to transfer heat, and the other side thereof being buried underground. When the surface of the ground is warmer than below the ground, the heat pipe for transferring heat transfers heat from the heat exchange part to below the ground, thereby storing the heat. When the ground surface is cooler than below the ground, the heat pipe for transferring heat transfers the heat from below the ground to the heat exchange part. Thus, natural energy from the ground may be accumulated underground in the form of thermal energy so as to increase the available heat in the earth. Further, providing the capillary-type heat pipe, which has a wide heat-transfer area and high heat-transfer efficiency, enables a loss of energy to be minimized and the thermal energy efficiency of the earth to be improved. In addition, the capillary-type heat pipe may be used alone without an additional operational device, such as a pump, so as to easily store the thermal energy and enable the easy installation and repair/maintenance of the geothermal exchanger.

    Abstract: Methods are described for using heated fluids from enhanced geothermal systems projects that recover geothermal heat from hot dry rock resources, and then injecting the heated pressurized fluids into a suitable rock formation to create an artificial geothermal energy reservoir. The artificial geothermal reservoir can then be used to store thermal energy by boosting the enthalpy of injected fluids by exchanging against heated fluids from other sources including a solar thermal power plant. Recovered heated fluids are utilized in a geothermal power plant and the spent geothermal fluids can be injected to recover additional thermal energy from hot dry rock resources. One embodiment is a geosolar electric power generation project to provide a steady and flexible source of renewable energy from a hot dry rock geothermal source integrated with a concentrating solar power project.

    Abstract: This disclosure provides equipment and processes for ground heat exchange. Embodiments of the ground heat exchange system may comprise a geothermal well that includes an inner tube positioned coaxially inside a borehole in geologic units, a substantially-liquid impermeable outer liner sealed at the bottom, and a liquid supply system. The outer liner may include one or more layers of a substantially-liquid impermeable fabric or coating. A fluid such as water is supplied by the liquid supply system and flows co-axially through the inner tube. The fluid pressure in the annulus between the inner tube and the outer liner presses the outer liner against the borehole wall, providing sealing contact and preventing interconnection of aquifers of the geologic units.

    Abstract: A closed-loop, solid-state system generates electricity from geothermal heat from a well by flow of heat, without needing large quantities of water to conduct heat from the ground. The present invention contemplates uses for depleted oil or gas wells and newly drilled wells to generate electricity in an environmentally-friendly method. Geothermal heat is conducted from the Earth to a heat exchanging element to heat the contents of pipes. The pipes are insulated between the bottom of the well and the surface to minimize heat dissipation as the heated contents of the pipes travel to the surface.
