Working

Reserviour ---well head---flash separator---turbine---condenser---


cooling tower– ground
Flash separator- brine (salt water) --- ground

Characteristics

• 20-30% mineral content


• highly saline– geothermal brine ---corrosive
• Thermal efficiency 8%--- when temperature decrease
dissolved silica and other corrosive salts deposited on pipes
and pump surfaces.
Limitations
Larger total mass flow rate through the well
Greater degree of ground surface subsidence
Greater degree of precipitation of minerals
Greater corrosion of pipes
P and T not sufficient to produce flash steam
Double flash cycle more power
Double flashed system
