Description
Technical Field

[0002] Geothermal wells refer to methods and devices for generating electricity using geothermal energy at a depth of about 3,500 meters or hot spring water with a water temperature greater than 30°C. Geothermal energy is divided into three categories: high temperature, medium temperature and low temperature. Geothermal energy that exists in the form of steam at a temperature above 150°C is high-temperature geothermal energy; geothermal energy that exists in the form of a mixture of water and steam at a temperature between 90°C and 150°C is medium-temperature geothermal energy; and geothermal energy that exists in the form of warm water, warm water, hot water, etc. at a temperature above 25°C and below 90°C is low-temperature geothermal energy.
[0003] When geothermal wells are mined, a large amount of water vapor and some associated gases are generated, which wastes resources and pollutes the environment through direct discharge. In the geothermal well mining device in the prior art, it is necessary to separate the water vapor and the collected associated gases. In order to maintain the heat storage pressure and avoid thermal and chemical pollution caused by direct discharge of geothermal wastewater, the geothermal tail water after heat exchange needs to be reinjected. In the prior art, the geothermal tail water directly introduced into the reinjection well is usually too low in temperature, which will lead to a decrease in the heat storage of the geothermal well and an imbalance in the geothermal system, which may easily cause the geothermal field to no longer produce energy. To this end, the utility model provides a water vapor separation device for high-temperature geothermal fluid samples in a geothermal well to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
