Description

Mixed type geothermal system utilizing large diameter drilling and construction method {COMBINED TYPE GEOTHERMAL SYSTEM AND CONSTRUCTION METHOD USING LARGE APERTURE PUNCHUNG}

The present invention relates to a hybrid geothermal system using a large diameter perforation and a construction method thereof, and more particularly, an open type and a closed type horizontal type and a vertical type which allow the use of heat of underground medium and groundwater in a geothermal system. The present invention relates to a hybrid geothermal system using a large diameter drilling having a composite heat exchange pipe having a composite structure, and a construction method thereof.

In general, as an energy source used for cooling and heating, fossil fuels such as coal, petroleum, and natural gas are used, or power energy produced using these fossil fuels or nuclear power is mainly used. However, since fossil fuels have a disadvantage of polluting water quality and the environment due to various pollutants generated during the combustion process, in recent years, development of alternative energy to replace them has been actively conducted. Among these alternative energies, research on wind power, solar heat, geothermal energy, etc., which have infinite energy sources, and air-conditioning devices using them are used. These energy sources have the advantage of obtaining energy with little effect on air pollution and climate change. On the other hand, the energy density is very low.

In particular, in order to obtain energy by using wind and solar heat, a large area must be secured along with the limit of the installation site. These devices have low energy production capacity per unit and are expensive to install and maintain. Therefore, many air-conditioning and heating devices using geothermal energy, which require relatively low cost for installation and maintenance, are used. This is a technology using underground thermal energy having a temperature of 10 to 20 ° C.

The type of geothermal system is typically classified into a closed type or an open type according to the circuit configuration of the pipe (heat exchanger) that recovers the geothermal heat.

An open type is an open pipe that carries water from a source, lake, river, or well, and can be applied where there is an abundant source. The general application of the open geothermal system has the same structure and facilities as the groundwater core wells, and the groundwater is pumped out of the groundwater instead of using the groundwater. . Compared to the heat-exchanging type of heat-exchanging heat (water or antifreeze) and geothermal heat in the pipe, the open type has the advantage of high heat transfer effect and low installation cost because geothermal heat is recovered directly into the pipe. The disadvantage of the open type is that maintenance is required compared to the closed circuit, and groundwater is exposed from the ground, which may cause groundwater contamination.

Enclosed type refers to an air-conditioning system that recovers geothermal heat or releases heat through underground heat exchangers installed in the ground.The solvent for heat exchange is circulated by the circulation pump in the closed circulation pipe, but is not in direct contact with the groundwater. As a result, groundwater contamination may not be greatly concerned, which is advantageous in terms of groundwater environmental conservation. Closed type is divided into vertical type and horizontal type according to the buried environment.

Horizontal systems can be considered if there are enough sites to bury underground heat exchangers around the target building. It is usually buried in a trench 1.5-3.0m deep and can be arranged in a straight or sleek form. The construction cost is relatively cheaper than the vertical type because there is no borehole drilling process, but the efficiency is inferior because the heat exchange pipe is buried at a relatively low depth of 1.5m ~ 3.0m from the ground. It is common.

Therefore, most of them are applied vertically. In the case of vertical type, after securing the land, excavate vertical bore-holes in depth of 60 ~ 180m and wind them once or twice in each borehole to U-shaped pipe. The installed heat exchanger is installed. After installation, each borehole is filled with bentonite or cement, which is impermeable, and then grouted. During the grouting process, the boreholes are filled with special materials to prevent the infiltration of surface water into the aquifer or the penetration of water due to the failure of adjacent aquifers.

In general, grouting materials have lower heat transfer properties and are more expensive than ordinary backfills. Recently, when manufacturing a field-pouring pile, a method of manufacturing a pile by embedding a heat exchange pipe therein is used. Accordingly, the heat exchange pipe constituting the geothermal heat exchanger is integrally installed inside the pile, thereby facilitating the installation of the ground heat exchanger. It is easy to do.

A heat transfer fluid is injected into the heat exchange pipe of the geothermal air conditioning system installed as described above in order to exchange heat with the ground heat. The geothermal air conditioning system takes the heat transfer fluid contained therein through the heat exchange pipe and stores the heat transfer fluid in this state. Forced circulation by the operation of the to move to the required place to perform cooling or heating.

This heating and cooling is possible because geothermal heat is lower than the air temperature in summer and higher than the air temperature in winter. In the case of cooling, geothermal heat is extracted from the room and transferred to the ground. You can heat up. Cooling and heating can be easily switched between cooling and heating mode by changing the flow direction of the heat transfer fluid through a switch operation installed in the heat pump.

The vertical type has a higher cost for drilling than the horizontal type, which is a burden on the economics.

On the other hand, many geothermal systems and construction methods for utilizing the heat of the underground medium and groundwater have been proposed in the related art.

By the way, the conventional geothermal system as described above, in the geothermal system, is composed of a closed type or an open type, respectively, and does not apply a mixed type and an open type, and in particular, an open type geothermal system utilizing a conventional underground medium is small. Since the groundwater is used by drilling the hole, there is a disadvantage in that the operation is restricted by the change of the groundwater. In particular, in the conventional geothermal system, the closed type has a disadvantage of occupying a large area of the installation site because it forms a plurality of boring holes, and there is a problem of limiting the inflow of groundwater because only the boring holes are formed.

Therefore, the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems, water storage tank of the dual structure to form a certain size of underground space to increase the geothermal efficiency to use geothermal heat and to increase the heat transfer efficiency of the formed underground space The upper structure without groundwater is installed in the underground heat exchanger and water storage tank, which is composed of underground space, which is designed to increase energy efficiency by filling with water, and a large number of radial holes are formed in the water storage tank to free the inflow of groundwater.

And installing a groundwater level meter inside the reservoir to automatically monitor, and installing a feed pipe to send groundwater in the perforated hole and groundwater in the perforated hole to the reservoir. It is effective.
