Glossary
- Aquifer:
-
A geological formation (or formations) which contains water or geothermal fluid and will allow fluid movement.
- Baseline:
-
Data set acquired before exploitation begins, against which any future measurements are compared.
- Deep liquid zone:
-
Region of single-phase liquid conditions below a two-phase (liquid and vapor) zone.
- Deep liquid level:
-
Boundary between the two-phase and deep liquid zones.
- Energy Conversion technology:
-
Term that refers to the thermodynamic cycle used to convert the heat energy from geothermal fluids into electricity, there are several of these technologies. Binary in which the heat of the geothermal fluids is transferred to a low-vaporization-temperature fluid (usually isopentane, ammonia, or a combination of water-ammonia) that is the working fluid driving the turbine generator. The heat source for the binary technology could be the separated geothermal brine or the steam or both exchanging energy in separated exchangers. When the steam is used...
