The present disclosure relates to the technical field of underground heat energy utilization, in particular to a heat supply device using an underground dry heat source and a heat supply method.
The earth is a huge thermal reservoir, and the hot dry rock in the underground heat source refers to the high-temperature rock mass buried deep underground. The temperature of the high-temperature rock mass is usually greater than 180° C., and the high-temperature rock mass contains little or no fluid. Generally speaking, the earth is the underground natural “boiler room” and is considered as an alternative clean energy with great strategic potentials. The hydrogeological environment experts of China Geological Survey thought that when the drilling depth reaches more than 2000 m, the temperature of the rock mass is generally high, and the temperature gradient is unusually obvious. The temperature can be increased by 7° C. at most when the depth is increased by 100 m. According to the calculation of the temperature increasing rate, it is estimated that the temperature can reach 260° C. when the drilling depth reaches about 4000 m underground, and the application prospect is very broad.
According to the data display of China Geological Survey, the total amount of hot dry rock resources with the depths of 3-10 km in Chinese mainland is 2.5×1025 joules (equivalent to 856 trillion tons of standard coal) and is 30 times of the total amount of oil, gas and coal resources in China.
At present, the development technology of hot dry rock resources mainly uses an enhanced geothermal system (EGS) to extract the heat inside the hot dry rock resources. The principle is as follows.
Firstly, a well (reinjection well) is drilled from the ground into the hot dry rock mass buried deep underground, and low-temperature water is injected into the stratum at high pressure. The high-pressure water can cause many cracks in the rock mass, or make the original cracks expand into larger cracks. With the continuous injection of low-temperature water, more and more cracks are generated, expanded and connected with each other, and finally an artificial underground hot water storage space is formed.
Secondly, several producing wells are drilled at reasonable positions away from the reinjection well. After the high-temperature water and steam are extracted from the stratum to the ground, the high-temperature water and steam are used for power generation and comprehensive utilization through heat exchange and ground circulation devices. The used warm water is injected into the underground hot dry rock mass through the reinjection well, so that the purpose of recycling is achieved.
The conditions of the stratum are complex, and the permeability and pore structure of different stratum are quite different. Therefore, this technology is complex, and a particularly high injection pressure is required to inject low-temperature water into the stratum, resulting in some phenomena such as low reinjection rate of low-temperature water, low reinjection amount and low recovery rate of high-temperature water. Moreover, the quality of injected water and produced water changes greatly, and special treatment technology is needed, so that the whole operation cost is greatly increased. At the same time, a series of problems such as land subsidence, even continuous decline of geothermal energy level, shortening of geothermal well life and insufficient utilization of geothermal energy resources may be caused.

As shown in
The heat supply pipeline comprises an inner tube 3 and an outer tube 2, the inner tube 3 is arranged in the middle of the outer tube 2, and the inner tube 3 is a hot water channel 6. A cold water channel 5 is formed between the inner tube 3 and the outer tube 2, the cold water supply device 1 injects cold water into the cold water channel 5, and heated hot water is pumped out of the inner tube 3 by the hot water suction pump 4.
According to the water quality requirements of civil hot water in heating, greenhouse, domestic hot water, industrial drying or bathing, aquaculture, soil heating, dehydration and other different fields, low-temperature water is correspondingly treated on the ground. Cold water meeting the water quality requirements is injected into the cold water channel 5 between the outer tube 2 and the inner tube 3 by the cold water supply device 1. As the outer tube 2 and the inner tube 3 are made of heat transfer metal materials, high-temperature rock strata of the high-temperature dry heat source heat the cold water through the horizontal well heating section 9 and the branch well heating sections, and the horizontal well heating section 9 and the branch well heating sections of the high-temperature dry heat source heat the cold water through the high-temperature rock strata. The required hot water temperature is set according to different application fields. When the water temperature meets the requirements, the hot water is discharged to the vertical well conduction section through the inner tube 3 and finally pumped to the ground by the hot water suction pump 4 in different fields.
By adopting circulating devices in the cold and hot water heat supply pipeline, low-temperature water meeting the application conditions and working conditions of hot water can be directly injected into the dry-hot strata, and after heat is taken from the stratum, the hot water meeting the water temperature requirements is extracted to the ground, so that the constant water quality is ensured, and the water treatment process is reduced. At the same time, the energy loss of the technologies such as heat tubes in the heating, condensation, heat extraction and reheating processes is reduced.
After the cold water is injected into the high-temperature stratum through the cold water channel 5, heating is started. In order to prevent the heated water from flowing back from the cold water channel 5, a cold water unidirectional flow control device 7 is designed to ensure that the hot water can only flow upwards from the hot water channel 6 but cannot flow back from the cold water channel 5 to affect the injection of cold water.
The cold water unidirectional flow control device 7 comprises a first sealing plug 701, a limiting baffle 702, a compression spring 703, a tube shoulder 704 and supporting tubes. The first sealing plug 701 sleeves the inner tube 3 and is in clearance fit with the inner tube 3, so that the first sealing plug 701 is convenient to move up and down in the inner tube 3. The first sealing plug 701 and the supporting tubes are sealed by a conical sealing structure 7011, so that the structure can reduce the abrasion during sealing. The limiting baffle 702 is welded with the supporting tubes as a whole and used for limiting the left-and-right torsion of the compression spring 703, and the limiting baffle 702 is provided with a limiting piece 7021 and a flow port 7022. The compression spring 703 is arranged between the first sealing plug 701 and the tube shoulder 704, the tube shoulder 704 is used for supporting the compression spring 703, and the tube shoulder 704 is in threaded connection with the inner tube 3. The supporting tubes are in threaded connection with the outer tube 2. The annular flow port 7022 formed in the limiting baffle 702 is used as a channel for the cold water to flow downwards.
The supporting tubes comprise a first supporting tube 705, a second supporting tube 706 and a third supporting tube 707, the limiting baffle 702 is welded on the second supporting tube 706, and then the two ends of the second supporting tube 706 are respectively welded and connected with the first supporting tube 705 and the third supporting tube 707. The bottom of the first supporting tube 705 is in threaded connection with the outer tube 2, and the top of the third supporting tube 707 is in threaded connection with the outer tube 2. In order to withstand the stratum pressure and extend the service life of the supporting tubes, all the supporting tubes are made from N80 petroleum casing materials.
The cold water unidirectional flow control device 7 can ensure that cold water and hot water run in the respective channels, that is, cold water is injected from the cold water channel 5 and extracted from the hot water channel 6 after the stratum take heat, so that cold water and hot water are not mixed with each other.
The hot water heated by the four branch well heating sections of the dry heat source is collected into the horizontal well heating section 9 by the inner tube 3, and flows into the hot water constant temperature control device 8. The hot water constant temperature control device 8 is in threaded connection with the inner tube 3. The hot water constant temperature control device 8 comprises a hollow fixed mount 801 and a control tube joint 814. One side of the control tube joint 814 is in threaded connection with the inner tube 3 of the horizontal well heating section 9, the other side of the control tube joint 814 is in threaded connection with the hollow fixed mount 801, and the hollow fixed mount 801 is in threaded connection with the inner tube 3 of the horizontal well heating section 9.

One end of the push rod 802 is connected with the hollow fixed mount 801, and the other end of the push rod is in clearance fit with the temperature control movable assembly so as to ensure that the temperature control movable assembly can move along the push rod. The sealing assembly is connected with the temperature control movable assembly, and can be in threaded connection with the control tube joint 814. When the temperature of the hot water reaches the set condition, the temperature control movable assembly is pushed by the push rod 802 until the sealing assembly is in an open state, so that the hot water continues to flow in the pipeline through the control tube joint 814.
The temperature control movable assembly comprises a moving block 804 and a central rod 805. One end of the push rod 802 extends into the port of the moving block 804 to form a clearance fit with the moving block 804. The moving block 804 is preferably made of copper. A cavity is formed in the interior of the moving block 804, the cavity is filled with paraffin 803, a telescopic rubber hose 812 is arranged in the cavity, and a proper amount of compressed air 813 is injected into the telescopic rubber hose 812 so as to ensure that the rubber hose is telescopic under the effect of external pressure. The right side of the telescopic rubber hose 812 sleeves the outer surface of the push rod 802 and is sealed with an adhesive tape, and one end of the central rod 805 is in threaded connection with the moving block 804. The telescopic rubber hose 812 filled with compressed air 813 is sealed firstly, then the cavity of the moving block 804 is filled with paraffin 803, and then the left end face of the moving block 804 is in threaded and sealing connection with the moving block 804. In practical application, the paraffin 803 is special paraffin, that is, according to the different hot water temperatures, the components contained in the paraffin can be adjusted, and the changes of the components can make the melting points of the paraffin different, so that it is ensured that the temperature control movable assembly can be turned on at different hot water temperatures and perform temperature control.
After the hot water reaches a set temperature, the temperature control movable assembly is turned on to output hot water and replenishment cold water, and heating and temperature control of the cold water is continued, so that dynamic balance and temperature control are maintained.

The spring baffle seat 809 is in threaded connection with the control tube joint 814.
The heat transfer efficiency difference is large due to the difference of geothermal layer temperatures and conductivity coefficients. A constant hot water extraction temperature can be set for the hot water constant temperature control device 8 designed by the present disclosure according to different hot water application fields, and then the low-temperature water is extracted when being heated to the required temperature, so that the needs of hot water application in many fields can be met. At the same time, the problems such as temperature reduction of stratum and slow heat transfer after repeated heating in geothermal layers are solved, and the application field of geothermal layer heating without water is greatly widened. Because of the high temperature of underground hot rock, the difficulty in implementing electric power control technology is large. Compared with common electric power control, the hot water constant temperature control device 8 is simple in process and high in operability.
The present disclosure further provides a heat supply method using the heat supply device using an underground dry heat source, comprising the following steps:
The working process is as follows.
The low-temperature cold water pushes the first sealing plug 701 down by gravity, the compression spring 703 is squeezed, and the cold water unidirectional flow control device 7 is opened. The cold water enters the second supporting tube 706 from the third supporting tube 707, and flows into the first supporting tube 705 through the annular flow port 7022 on the limiting baffle 702. At the moment, the cold water unidirectional flow control device 7 is in an open state. The hot water in the stratum is heated, and then the temperature and the pressure are increased. When the pressure is larger than the injection pressure of the cold water, the compression spring 703 extends to push the first sealing plug 701 upwards, and the cold water unidirectional flow control device 7 is in a closed state. The whole process has no influence on the upward movement of the hot water in the inner tube 3.
After the cold water is heated by the hot rock in the horizontal well heating section 9 and the branch well heating sections, the temperature is increased continuously. After the set temperature (for example, 85° C. for heating) suitable for ground application is reached, the hot water heat is quickly transferred into the special paraffin 803 contained inside by the moving block 804 made of copper. The paraffin 803 is heated and expanded, the telescopic rubber hose 812 is squeezed, and the compressed air 813 inside the telescopic rubber hose 812 is compressed to apply a rightward acting force to the push rod 802. Because the push rod 802 is fixed, a rightward counter-acting force is applied to the moving block 804. The moving block 804 is pushed to move leftwards, and then the central rod 805 and the second sealing plug 808 move leftwards. The control device is opened, the hot water enters the inner tube 3 of the horizontal well heating section 9, and finally the hot water is discharged to the ground by the hot water suction pump 4. With the continuous discharge of hot water and the continuous injection of cold water, the temperature of the stratum is decreased and the heat transfer gradually slows down. After the hot water temperature is lower than the set temperature, the special paraffin 803 inside the moving block 804 is contracted after the temperature is decreased, and the telescopic rubber hose 812 and the compressed air 813 inside the telescopic rubber hose 812 are expanded accordingly. The air pressure inside the telescopic rubber hose 812 is decreased. Under the combined action of the counter-acting force of the push rod 802 and the first memory spring 806 and the second memory spring 810, the moving block 804 moves rightwards, and the center rod 805 and the second sealing plug 808 are driven to move rightwards. When the second sealing plug 808 makes contact with the second sealing plug baffle seat 807, the control device is in a closed state. The hot water is no longer discharged. When the hot water is heated to a certain temperature, a next cycle is followed.
Finally, it should be noted that the foregoing embodiments are merely intended for describing the technical solutions of the present disclosure, but not for limiting the present disclosure. Although the present disclosure is described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, a person of ordinary skill in the art should understand that they may still make modifications to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent replacements to some or all technical features thereof, without departing from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure.
