ARRANGEMENT FOR GEOTHERMAL HEATING
FIELD OF THE INVENTION The invention relates to an arrangement for geothermal heating according to claim 1. - BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Geothermal heating - based on the extraction of thermal energy from the soil. The soil temperature gradually rises as a function of depth from the ground = downwards. The rising temperature of the soil is traditionally utilized to generate thermal energy with collectors installed - in the soil or in a hole provided in the soil, and by circulating a working medium such as ethanol in the collector. The working medium takes heat energy from the soil and the taken thermal energy is released from the working medium for use in a heat pump or heat exchanger. Higher soil temperatures are more advantageous because more thermal energy can be produced by utilizing higher temperatures.
Thus, it is more advantageous to install the collector to extend deeper into the soil where higher temperatures are available.
Installing the collector deeper also becomes more difficult as a function of depth. In addition, moving the fluid deep from a high temperature is difficult because the fluid tends to release thermal energy as it flows - upward as the ambient temperature drops upwards.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The object of the invention is to provide an arrangement for geothermal heating in such a way that the disadvantages of the prior art are solved or at least alleviated.
The objects of the invention are achieved by an arrangement for geothermal heating according to independent protection claim 1 N.
Preferred embodiments of the invention are set out in the dependent claims.
a The invention is based on the provision of an arrangement for geothermal O 30 heating, which arrangement comprises a geothermal well extending 3 into the soil and having an upper end and a lower end. The geothermal well is also equipped with S liquid heat transfer medium. Thus, the geothermal well is filled or is> substantially filled with a liquid heat transfer medium. The arrangement further comprises a heat collector loop for circulating the primary working medium in the geothermal well.
The heat collector loop is arranged in a geothermal well.
Thus, the heat collector loop is arranged in a liquid heat transfer medium in a geothermal well.
The arrangement further comprises a flow channel provided - to the geothermal well.
The flow channel comprises an upper flow opening and a lower flow opening and extends in the geothermal well between the upper part of the geothermal well and the lower part of the geothermal well.
Thus, the flow channel is arranged in a liquid heat transfer medium in a geothermal well and extends between the upper part of the geothermal well and the lower part of the geothermal well.
Thus, the flow channel comprises an upper flow opening at the top of the geothermal well and a lower flow opening at the bottom of the geothermal well.
The arrangement also comprises a propulsion arrangement arranged in connection with the flow channel =.
The propulsion arrangement is arranged to transfer - a liquid heat transfer medium along a flow channel between the upper flow opening and the lower flow opening to circulate the liquid heat transfer medium in the geothermal well between the upper part of the geothermal well and the lower part of the geothermal well.
Thus, the propulsion arrangement transfers the liquid heat transfer medium - in the flow channel from the upper flow opening to the lower flow opening, or from the lower flow opening to the upper flow opening, recirculating the liquid heat transfer medium in the geothermal well and between the top and bottom of the geothermal well.
In one embodiment, the geothermal well has a first - depth between the upper end of the geothermal well and the lower end of the geothermal well, and the heat collector loop is arranged to extend to a second depth S from the upper end of the geothermal well.
The second depth is equal to or less than 75% of the first depth, or the second depth is between 5 and 75% of the first depth G, or preferably between 5 and 60% of the first depth.
A 30 Thus, the heat collector loop is arranged only for a part of the first depth of the geothermal E well.
The heat collector loop extends from the upper end of the geothermal well © along at least a portion of the first depth of the geothermal well.
S The flow passage and propulsion arrangement are thus arranged to transfer thermal energy to the heat collector loop at the bottom of the N geothermal well by circulating the liquid S 35 heat transfer medium in the geothermal well.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the lower flow opening of the flow channel is arranged in the geothermal well to a third depth from the upper end of the geothermal well. The third depth is equal to or greater than the second depth. Alternatively, the third depth is at least 75% of the first depth or preferably at least 80% of the first depth or between 75% -100% of the first depth or preferably between 90% and 100% of the first depth.
Thus, in the present invention, the flow channel and the propulsion arrangement are arranged to take the liquid heat transfer medium from the third depth of the geothermal well through the lower flow opening and transfer it - in the flow channel to the upper flow opening. Alternatively, in the present invention, the flow channel and the propulsion arrangement are arranged to take the liquid heat transfer medium through the upper flow opening and transfer it in the flow channel to the lower flow opening at the third depth. In addition, alternatively, the flow channel and propulsion arrangement are arranged to supply new liquid heat transfer medium from outside the geothermal well to the flow channel and transfer new liquid heat transfer medium in the flow channel to a lower flow opening at a third depth.
In one embodiment, the upper flow opening of the flow channel is provided in the geothermal well to a fourth depth from the upper end of the geothermal well. The fourth depth is smaller than the second depth. Alternatively, the fourth depth is less than 50% of the first depth or preferably less than 25% of the first depth, or between 0% and 30% of the first depth, or preferably between 0% and 20% of the first depth.
Thus, in the present invention, the flow channel and the propulsion arrangement o are arranged to take the liquid heat transfer medium from the fourth depth of the geothermal well S through the upper flow opening and transfer it. in the flow channel to the lower flow opening. Alternatively, in the present invention, the flow passage and propulsion arrangement are arranged to take A 30 liquid heat transfer medium through the lower flow opening and transfer it in the flow passage E to the upper flow opening at a fourth depth. © In one embodiment, the arrangement comprises one or more heat collector loops arranged in the S geothermal well and one or more N flow channels arranged in the geothermal well. S 35 Thus, a geothermal well comprises more than one separate heat collector loop and also more than one flow channel.
The number of heat collector loops and the number of flow channels are not independent of each other, but can be freely selected. Increasing the number of flow channels can increase the recycling of liquid heat transfer medium in a geothermal well. Similarly, increasing the number of heat collector loops can increase - the amount of thermal energy taken from a geothermal well.
The propulsion arrangement may comprise a pump, propeller or turbine or some other device capable of producing a flow of liquid heat transfer medium in the flow channel. Alternatively, the propulsion arrangement may be arranged to produce a pressure difference between the flow channel and the geothermal well, which pressure difference is arranged to transfer the liquid heat transfer medium in the flow channel.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the propulsion arrangement is - arranged to circulate the liquid heat transfer medium upwards in the flow channel from the downstream opening towards the upper flow opening and from the lower part of the geothermal well to the upper part of the geothermal well.
In another embodiment, the propulsion arrangement is arranged to circulate the liquid heat transfer medium downstream in the flow channel from the upper flow opening to the lower flow opening and from the top of the geothermal well to the bottom of the geothermal well.
Thus, the high temperature liquid heat transfer medium can be transferred from the lower part of the geothermal well to the upper part of the flow channel geothermal well. Thus, a circulation of the liquid heat transfer medium is created, in which the high temperature liquid heat transfer medium flows upwards in the flow channel and the low temperature liquid heat transfer medium flows downwards in the geothermal well. o Alternatively, the low temperature liquid heat transfer medium S can be transported in the flow channel from the top of the geothermal well to the geothermal. to the bottom of the well. Thus, a circulation of the liquid heat transfer medium 2 is provided, in which the low temperature liquid heat transfer medium flows downwards in the A 30 flow channel and the high temperature liquid heat transfer medium flows upwards in the geothermal well. © Thus, the temperature of the liquid heat transfer medium in the geothermal well S becomes more uniform or balanced along the first depth of the geothermal well N. S 35 In one embodiment, the liquid heat transfer medium is water. Water is preferred because the geothermal well can be provided at least in part as a borehole, borehole, or hole in the soil such that the soil or rock forms at least a portion of the walls of the geothermal well.
In addition, in one embodiment, the liquid heat transfer medium may be water and the primary working medium may be a refrigerant or ethanol or an alcohol-based working medium. The arrangement according to the present invention provides two separate cycles, one in the heat collector loop and the other in the geothermal well. Therefore, two different fluids can be used in the arrangement, which allow efficient heat transfer.
In one embodiment, the ground hole provided in the ground is arranged - to form a geothermal well or at least a part of a geothermal well. Thus, the geothermal well may be a borehole or the like formed by drilling or excavating into the soil or rock. This allows efficient heat transfer between the soil and the liquid heat transfer medium when the liquid heat transfer medium is in direct contact with the soil in a geothermal well.
In an alternative embodiment, the ground hole provided in the soil comprises a well pipe forming a geothermal well or at least a part of a geothermal well. The well pipe is arranged inside the earth hole so that the inner wall (s) of the well pipe define a geothermal well or part thereof. In one embodiment, the well pipe is provided in the upper part of the earth hole, where soft soil may be present and the earth hole itself forms a geothermal well in the lower part.
A geothermal well may have a uniform cross-sectional area between the top and bottom. Alternatively, the geothermal well may have a decreasing cross-sectional area, such as a tapered shape, towards the lower end of the geothermal well.
o In one embodiment, the geothermal well comprises a first S well section extending from the upper end of the geothermal well to the first well. to a depth, and a second well section extending from the first well section 2 toward the lower end of the well. The first well section has a first A 30 cross-sectional area and the second well section has a second cross-sectional area E. The first cross-sectional area is larger than the second © cross-sectional area. - In addition, the heat collector loop is = arranged S in the first well section and the flow channel can extend from the first well section N to the second well section. S 35 Thus, a heat collector loop may be provided in the first well section at the top of the geothermal well and having a larger cross-sectional area or diameter. The second well section extends from the first well section to the lower end of the geothermal well and is at the bottom of the geothermal well, and has a smaller cross-sectional area or diameter. The flow channel is arranged in the second well section or extends to the second well section from the first well section so that liquid heat transfer medium can be transferred from the second well section to the first well section or from the first well section to the second well section.
In one embodiment, the flow channel is arranged in a geothermal well next to the heat collector loop. Thus, the flow channel is arranged - in a geothermal well parallel to the heat collector loop.
In some embodiments, the flow passage comprises thermal insulation extending along the flow passage for at least a portion of the distance between the upper flow opening and the lower flow opening. In some embodiments, the flow passage comprises thermal insulation extending along the flow passage from the upper flow opening to the lower flow opening. The thermal insulation may surround the flow channel on the inner or outer surface of the flow channel or it may be provided between the inner surface and the outer surface of the flow channel. Alternatively, the flow channel may be a vacuum tube comprising a vacuum layer forming a thermal insulation.
Thermal insulation allows high temperature liquid heat transfer medium to be transferred from the lower part or lower end of a geothermal well to the upper or upper end of the geothermal well at high temperature because thermal insulation prevents or reduces heat transfer from the liquid heat transfer medium flowing inside the flow channel. Similarly, thermal insulation allows low temperature liquid heat transfer medium to be transported — from the top or top of a geothermal well to the bottom or o bottom of a geothermal well at low temperature because thermal insulation prevents or reduces N heat transfer to the liquid flowing inside the flow channel. heat transfer medium. This makes heat transfer in geothermal well 2 more efficient. v 30 The arrangement may further comprise a heat pump connected to a heat collector loop E to transfer heat energy from the primary working medium. © Alternatively, the arrangement may comprise a heat pump and a secondary heat network S. The heat collector loop and the secondary heat network can be N connected to a heat pump to transfer heat energy from the heat collector loop S 35 to the secondary heat network.
Thus, a heat pump, or alternatively a heat exchanger, can be utilized to transfer heat energy from the primary working fluid flowing in the heat collector loop. The advantage of the invention is that the liquid heat transfer medium, the flow channel and the propulsion arrangement = allow thermal energy to be taken - into the liquid heat transfer medium from the lower part of the geothermal well where the soil temperature is higher and from the upper part of the geothermal well with heat collector This allows the advantages of conventional geothermal heat exchangers with closed fluid loops that - utilize ethanol or other refrigerants and are not installed deep in the soil, and - installed at deep higher temperatures - geothermal heat exchangers.
