Description

Technical Field

[0002] Geothermal energy, as a clean and renewable energy source, boasts abundant reserves and wide distribution, possessing enormous development and utilization potential, and its application in the heating sector is becoming increasingly widespread. Medium-deep geothermal energy is a typical low-grade, medium-low temperature heat source. Organic Rankine cycle technology is a highly efficient medium-low temperature heat energy utilization technology. Due to the low boiling point of the organic working fluid, the evaporation temperature within the evaporator is also low, allowing it to be heated into high-pressure steam at relatively low temperatures, which is beneficial for the recovery of waste heat from medium-low temperature heat sources. Currently, medium-deep geothermal energy is mainly used for power generation or industrial park heating, with relatively limited application scenarios and potential for further improvement in energy utilization efficiency. Deep and efficient utilization of shallow geothermal energy based on the organic Rankine cycle can not only generate electricity and store it in electrochemical energy storage devices to meet the low-load electricity needs of users such as charging new energy vehicles and residential electricity consumption, but also meet users' heat load requirements, enabling cascade utilization of geothermal energy and further improving energy efficiency.

The evaporator 4 is also provided between a condenser 6 and an expander generator set 5, and the condenser 6 is connected to the expander generator set 5.

[0021] The inlet of the water collector 2 is also connected to the municipal water supply pipe 9. A third valve 10 and a water replenishment pump 11 are installed on the pipeline between the water collector 2 and the municipal water supply pipe 9 to replenish the water medium inside the buried pipe heat exchange system 1 through the municipal water supply pipe 9.

[0022] The second outlet of the evaporator 4 is connected to the inlet of the expander generator set 5, and a fourth valve 12 is installed on the pipeline between the evaporator 4 and the expander generator set 5. The second inlet of the evaporator 4 is connected to the first outlet of the condenser 6, and an organic working fluid pump 13 is installed on the pipeline between the evaporator 4 and the organic working fluid pump 13. A fifth valve 14 is installed on the pipeline between the evaporator 4 and the organic working fluid pump 13, and a sixth valve 15 is installed on the pipeline between the organic working fluid pump 13 and the condenser 6. The first inlet of the condenser 6 is connected to the outlet of the expander generator set 5, and a seventh valve 16 is installed on the pipeline between the condenser 6 and the expander generator set 5.

[0023] The expander generator set 5 is electrically connected to the electrochemical energy storage device 17, and the electricity generated by the expander generator set 5 is stored in the electrochemical energy storage device 17.

[0024] The second inlet of the condenser 6 is connected to both a first pipeline and a second pipeline. The first pipeline is connected to the heating return water pipeline 18, and the second pipeline is connected to the cooling water outlet of the cooling tower 19. An eighth valve 20 and a heating network circulating water pump 21 are installed on the first pipeline, and a ninth valve 22 and a cooling water circulating pump 23 are installed on the second pipeline.

[0025] The second outlet of the condenser 6 is connected to both a third pipe and a fourth pipe. The third pipe is connected to the heating water supply pipe 24, and the fourth pipe is connected to the cooling water inlet of the cooling tower 19. A tenth valve 25 is installed on the third pipe, and an eleventh valve 26 is installed on the fourth pipe.

[0026] The cooling tower 19 is also connected to a cooling water supply pipe 27, through which cooling water is supplied to the interior of the cooling tower 19.

[0027] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0028] When the power generation and heating system is in normal working condition, valves 7, 8, 12, 14, 15, and 16 remain open, while valve 10 remains closed.

[0029] The water collector 2 disperses the water medium into different buried pipes within the buried pipe heat exchange system 1, heating the water medium inside the buried pipes by absorbing geothermal energy. The heated water medium then enters the water distributor 3, which transports it to the evaporator 4. Inside the evaporator 4, the organic working fluid (R245fa) absorbs heat from the water medium, converting it into high-temperature, high-pressure steam. The water medium, having absorbed heat, returns to the water collector 2, completing the heat exchange cycle. The high-temperature, high-pressure steam enters the expander generator set 5 to perform work, driving it to generate electricity. The generated electricity is then stored in the electrochemical energy storage device 17, providing stable power to the electricity customer 28. After performing work, the organic working fluid becomes low-temperature, low-pressure steam and enters the condenser 6, where it exchanges heat with the heating return water or cooling water, being cooled into a liquid organic working fluid. This liquid is then pressurized by the organic working fluid pump 13 and transported back to the evaporator 4, completing the work cycle.

[0030] When the water medium in the heat exchange cycle is insufficient, the third valve 10 is opened to replenish the water medium into the buried pipe heat exchange system 1 through the municipal tap water pipe 9.

[0031] During the heating season, open valves 8 (20) and 10 (25), and close valves 9 (22) and 11 (26). The return water is pressurized by the heating network circulation pump and enters the condenser 6, where it exchanges heat with low-temperature, low-pressure organic working fluid vapor. After being heated to the heating temperature, it is delivered to the user end for heating.

[0032] During the non-heating season, close valves 8 and 10, and open valves 9 and 11. Cooling water is pressurized by cooling water circulation pump 23 and enters the condenser 6. The cooling water cools the organic working fluid vapor discharged from the expander generator set 5. The heated cooling water enters the cooling tower 19 for further cooling and then returns to the condenser 6 via cooling water circulation pump 23, forming a cooling cycle.

[0033] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
