ATENG 11531 — Geothermal (high enthalpy) Energy Unit
Anodized aluminum frame and panels made of painted steel.
The unit includes wheels to facilitate its mobility.
Main metallic elements made of stainless steel.
Diagram in the front panel with distribution of the elements similar to the real one.
- Condenser circuit:
- Water cooled exchanger to condense the working fluid at the outlet of the turbine and make the cycle start again: there is a coil inside
through which tap cold water flows.
Flowmeter to measure the cooling water flow through the coil.
Manometer to measure the pressure of the working fluid in the condenser.
- Evaporator circuit:
Heat exchanger to extract the heat from the water previously heated by a heating element in a tank.
Tank with electrical heating element.
Pump to drive the hot water to the evaporator.
Manometer to measure the pressure of the working fluid in the evaporator.
- Turbine of 7000 rpm approx.
Electrical generator.
Electrical load.
Pump to drive the working fluid through the closed circuit.
Eleven “J type” temperature sensors, distributed along the process, to know the heat transfers occurred.
Measurement of the power consumed by the generator's load.
Solenoid valve.
Pressure switch to avoid overpressures.
- Electronic console:
Metallic box.
Temperature sensors connections.
Selector for temperature sensors.
Digital display for temperature sensors.
Wattmeter display.
Pumps switchs.
Main switch.
Cables and accessories, for normal operation.
