Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of geothermal resource utilization, in particular to a deep V-shaped well underground heat extraction system. Background Art

[0002] With the increasing severity of the greenhouse effect and air pollution, traditional fossil energy resources such as coal, oil, and natural gas are no longer sufficient to meet the requirements of my country's environmentally friendly social development. The development and utilization of new clean alternative energy sources such as solar energy, wind energy, and geothermal energy are gaining increasing attention, and their proportion in the energy structure is expected to increase annually. Geothermal energy, a thermal energy resource, has advantages over solar and wind energy, such as being unaffected by day and night, weather conditions, high energy density, and stable operation. Therefore, it holds great promise for building heating in northern my country.

[0003] Currently, deep geothermal heat exchange wells primarily utilize coaxial heat exchange. Due to the cross-section of the pipes used in the middle coaxial heat exchange jacket, the circulating water flow rate is low, resulting in low heat extraction efficiency. The previously studied U-shaped casing underground horizontal wells are difficult to drill, pose high risks, and have a low cost-effectiveness, preventing widespread application. To address these issues, a deep V-shaped well underground heat extraction system was proposed. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to make up for the above shortcomings, the utility model provides a deep V-shaped well underground heat extraction system, which aims to improve the problem in the existing technology that the coaxial heat exchange form is affected by the pipe cross-section, resulting in the circulating water flow being affected and the heat exchange efficiency being reduced.

[0015] The utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. In the utility model, the heat is extracted from the heat pump main unit, enters the second heat exchange sleeve along the ground insulation pipe at the output end, and then flows into the ground insulation pipe at the input end through the second heat exchange sleeve.

[0020] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0021] Reference Figure 1The present invention provides an embodiment of a deep V-shaped underground heat extraction system, comprising a heat pump unit 1, which is responsible for extracting heat from a low-temperature heat source and raising it to a higher temperature level to meet heating or cooling needs. Two above-ground insulated pipes 2 are fixedly connected to the left side of the heat pump unit 1. The above-ground insulated pipes 2 are made of an insulating sleeve material to reduce heat loss during heat extraction. The above-ground insulated pipes 2 are used to connect the heat pump unit 1 to the underground heat exchange system, ensuring that heat loss is minimized during the transmission process.

[0022] The bottom end of the above-ground insulation pipe 2 is fixedly connected with a wellhead connection device 3. The above-ground insulation pipe 2 has two pipes, one for outputting circulating water and one for inputting circulating water. The underground positions where the two above-ground insulation pipes 2 are connected are both connected with a wellhead connection device 3.

[0023] The bottom ends of the two wellhead connecting devices 3 are fixedly connected with a second heat exchange sleeve 4. The second heat exchange sleeve 4 is made of high thermal conductivity oil casing material, and its surface contacts the formation to achieve sufficient heat exchange. The second heat exchange sleeve 4 pipeline is a V-shaped pipeline, and the pipeline is divided according to the research on geological strata, and the pipeline is buried 3,500 meters underground.

[0024] The left and right ends of the top of the second heat exchange sleeve 4 are provided with insulation components for assisting heat exchange. The insulation components include two geological reservoirs 5. The inside of the geological reservoir 5 is fixedly connected to the two ends of the outside of the second heat exchange sleeve 4. The outside of the geological reservoir 5 is fixedly connected with a first surface casing 6. The top of the geological reservoir 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the wellhead connection device 3, and the bottom end of the first surface casing 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the wellhead connection device 3. The first surface casing 6 is insulated because the temperature of the geological reservoir 5 is low. The two casings are connected to the wellhead connection device 3, buried underground, and close to the ground.

[0025] The bottom end of the second heat exchange sleeve 4 is fixedly connected to an underground cementing section 7. The underground cementing section 7 is a section of a wellbore fixed with cement and used to support the underground heat exchange sleeve and other equipment. This prevents groundwater from seeping into the system while ensuring stable operation of the system. A circulating water pump 8 is provided in the middle of one of the above-ground insulated pipes 2. The circulating water pump 8 is installed in the middle of the above-ground insulated pipe 2 (at the input end) and is responsible for driving the water source to circulate in the system. By turning on the circulating water pump 8, the water source can be kept flowing, thereby achieving efficient heat exchange processing.

[0026] Working principle: When constructing the geothermal well, a small-angle natural inclination is adopted for construction, and the operating system is installed in a closed operation.

[0027] After installation is complete, the control end is turned on to control the heat pump main unit 1 to deliver circulating water to the connected (water outlet) ground insulation pipe 2, and then enter the second heat exchange sleeve 4 through the wellhead connection device 3, so that the outside of the second heat exchange sleeve 4 contacts the formation for heat exchange. After heat exchange, the water source will flow along the V-shaped channel of the second heat exchange sleeve 4 to the outlet at the other end of the second heat exchange sleeve 4, circulate through the wellhead connection device 3 fixed at the other end of the second heat exchange sleeve 4, and the circulating water pump 8 is turned on to drive the water source to continue flowing, circulate into the ground (input end) ground insulation pipe 2, and pass through the circulating water pump 8 into the heat pump main unit 1 for heat exchange treatment. This increases the circulating water flow rate and improves the heat exchange.

[0028] During the whole process, the first surface casing 6 is used for heat insulation because the temperature of the geological reservoir 5 is low.

[0029] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
