摘要: A borehole is bored to a borehole target depth in a site and a geothermal heat exchanger is inserted into and then secured in the borehole at the desired depth. Once the heat exchanger has been secured in the borehole, the heat exchanger has a closed distal end and an open proximal end and has at least one fluid path between the closed distal end and the open proximal end, with installation fluid disposed in the fluid path(s). After securing the heat exchanger in the borehole and before excavation of a portion of the site immediately surrounding the borehole, the heat exchanger is temporarily sealed by installing, through the open proximal end, at least one respective internal seal in each fluid path. For each fluid path, the internal seal(s) will be disposed below a respective notional subgrade depth and excavation of the site immediately surrounding the borehole can proceed.

摘要: A building heating and cooling system includes a structural foundation member that extends into a borehole. A heat exchange loop is installed within the foundation member for heat exchange with ground surrounding the foundation member. The heat exchange hoop is interconnected with a heat pump for providing heating or cooling to the building by heat exchange with ground surrounding the foundation member.

摘要: Thermal energy is extracted from geological formations using a heat harvester. In some embodiments, the heat harvester is a once-through, closed loop, underground heat harvester created by directionally drilling through hot rock. The extracted thermal energy can be converted or transformed to other forms of energy.

摘要: Systems and methods are disclosed that include providing a hybrid heat pump system with a heat pump connected in fluid communication with an outdoor unit and a ground heat exchanger via a plurality of valves. The hybrid heat pump system also includes a system controller that selectively configures the plurality of valves to alter a fluid flow path through at least one of the outdoor unit that exchanges heat between a fluid carried by an outdoor heat exchanger of the outdoor unit and ambient outdoor air and the ground heat exchanger that exchanges heat between the fluid carried by the ground heat exchanger and the ground in order to maximize heat transfer efficiency between the fluid and the ambient outdoor air and/or the ground based on various temperatures measured by the hybrid heat pump system.

摘要: A process for producing power including injecting a first heat transfer fluid through an injection well to a geothermally-heated formation that contains a second heat transfer fluid. The first heat transfer fluid may then be heated via indirect heat exchange in an interwell run fluidly connected to the injection well and disposed within the geothermally-heated formation. The heated first heat transfer fluid may then be recovered through a production well fluidly connected to the interwell run. Thermal energy contained in the recovered heated first heat transfer fluid may then be converted in a power production unit fluidly connected to the injection well and the production well. The interwell run, in some embodiments, may include multiple heat exchange tubes disposed within a perforated casing or drill pipe.
