Using the model of geothermal

Geothermal energy use, there are two basic models, namely, “the Icelandic model” and the “Continental model.”

Geothermal utilization, “Iceland mode” Iceland’s geothermal resources are very rich, from 1928 onwards they geothermal. Icelandic population is now about 1 / 2 depends on the capital of geothermal water supply system, the local geothermal power generation capacity of 500 megawatts, the equivalent of a large thermal power plants, each year about 30 billion kilowatt-hours electricity Read More…

Comprehensive utilization of low temperature geothermal water

Low-temperature geothermal, is 100 degrees below the ground water. People to use low temperature geothermal ground water from the beginning.

China is the first natural geothermal countries. According to historical records, BC 500 – 600 years ago before the Eastern Zhou era, people understood how to use underground hot water bath treatment and irrigation, but also to extract sulfur from the hot springs and other useful elements. To around 500 AD, Li, Jin Yuan Road, “The Truth of” clearly wrote: “the melting rocks out of Hot water, cures Read More…

Colorful charm of nuclear power

Nuclear power, nuclear fission reaction is to release the tremendous heat from the loop out of the system to produce steam to drive generator turbines. Use of nuclear power station, known as the nuclear power plant.

Currently operating nuclear power plants have been built, the basic working principle is: nuclear fuel (such as uranium -235) in the reactor nuclear fission chain reaction, a lot of heat generated by the heat carrier agent (water or gas) to bring out, in the steam device Read More…
