SELF-CONTAINED IN-GROUND GEOTHERMAL GENERATOR AND HEAT EXCHANGER WITH IN-LINE PUMP AND SEVERAL ALTERNATIVE APPLICATIONS

摘要

A method of harnessing geothermal energy to produce electricity without polluting the environment by using universal portable closed loop systems is provided. The Scientific Geothermal Technology, The Self Contained In-Ground Geothermal Generator; The Self Contained Heat Exchanger; and The IN-LINE PUMP consist of several designs and variations complementing each other and/or operating separately in many different applications in energy sectors. The system can be used for harnessing heat from established lava (tube) flows; harnessing the waste heat from the flame on top of flare stacks; and other situation where a source of heat is difficult to access or is not suitable for relatively heavy equipment of a power plant or power unit. Also, included is an exemplary use for restoration of the Salton Sea which implements the Scientific Geothermal Technology for exchanging water from a salty terminal lake with oceanic water and for production of electricity and fresh water.

主权项

1. A system for restoration of salty terminal lake comprising:
a) at least three ocean pipelines fluidly connecting an ocean with a central mass of water at the salty terminal lake. b) at least two dikes located on a northern and a southern end of the salty terminal lake to form two separate reservoirs to contain runoffs water accumulated from nearby farmland; c) a pumping system for reducing salinity of the salty terminal lake by exchanging high salinity water from bottom of the salty terminal lake with oceanic water through the pipelines; d) power plants with an array of wells and corresponding power units; e) supply pipeline systems for supplying water from the lake to power plants; f) disposal pipeline systems for disposing high salinity water from power plants; and g) distribution pipeline systems for distributing fresh water from power plants.
