The present invention relates to the technical field of development and utilization of geothermal energy, in particular to a heat-pipe type heat extraction integrated with combined cooling power and heating exploitation-utilization integrated geothermal system.
Geothermal energy is a clean and renewable energy, and development and utilization of the geothermal energy have gradually become one of strategic directions of new energy development in countries around the world. At present, the development of geothermal resources has been developed from middle-shallow layers of hydrothermal resources to the deeper occurrence strata such as middle-deep layers of geothermal and hot dry rock resources with higher temperature, larger reserves and wider distribution. The development direction of the development and utilization of the geothermal resources has also expanded from the heating utilization modes such as heating and bathing to the utilization modes such as refrigeration supply, power supply and the like of geothermal refrigeration and power generation.
For the traditional geothermal exploitation mode, usually underground hot water, or a fluid working medium injected into an underground thermal storage is extracted as a heat-carrying working medium for geothermal exploitation, which not only needs to consume additional pumping power, but also has the problems such as loss of the working medium, pipeline scaling and groundwater recharge. In recent years, the geothermal energy development mode of “extracting heat without taking water” has become a new technological development direction.
The heat pipe is one of elements with the highest heat transfer efficiency known at present. Through a gas-liquid phase change of the working medium in the heat pipe, the heat can be rapidly transferred from the underground high-temperature thermal storage to the ground surface. Compared with conventional geothermal exploitation solutions, the use of the heat pipe to exploit thermal energy in the underground thermal storage does not need to consume additional pumping power. At the same time, since the heat-carrying working medium is only cycled in the pipe, the problems such as the loss of the working medium, the pipeline scaling and groundwater recharge can be effectively avoided. In the heat pipe used for exploitation of the geothermal heat, the working medium is heated by the underground heat storage to form a steam flow which flows upward along the heat pipe, is condensed into a liquid phase after passing through a ground surface heat utilization component and returns to an evaporation section. The steam generated in the heat pipe is used as a cycle working medium, and a power generation cycle can be carried out without flashing. Compared with a liquid working medium, the steam working medium is of high grade and has a higher available energy density. Therefore, compared with other geothermal exploitation technologies extracting underground hot water or injection-produced hot water for thermal utilization, the technical solution using the steam generated by the heat pipe for refrigeration and power generation has more prospects for comprehensive development and utilization. At present, there is still no corresponding comprehensive technical solution for combined cooling power and heating for the new technology of exploiting the geothermal energy with the heat pipe.
