Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of geothermal heat extraction technology, specifically to a geothermal heat extraction device that prevents scaling and avoids interference. Background Technology

[0002] Geothermal heat extraction refers to the technical process of extracting and utilizing heat energy from underground. Its core lies in extracting the heat energy stored underground (usually in the form of hot water, steam, or dry hot rock) to the surface through engineering means for power generation, heating, agricultural greenhouses, or other heat energy applications.

[0003] Some geothermal heat extraction devices on the market currently use U-shaped wells and heat exchange pipes installed underground. They extract heat energy by injecting flowing water into the heat exchange pipes and exchanging heat underground. However, during long-term operation, scale will be generated and adhere to the inner wall of the heat exchange pipes, thereby reducing the heat exchange efficiency and effect and interfering with the heat energy extraction.

[0004] Therefore, we propose a scale-resistant and interference-free geothermal heat extraction device to solve the problems mentioned above. Utility Model Content
