As the liquid arise to the surface the pressure decreases, causing a small portion of the liquid still within the well to flash into a steam.]]> 2022-09-27 03:11:27 UTC https://padlet.com/apjohnlionelpanaligan/51k5w8ejvuqjvw2k/wish/2314776001 apjohnlionelpanaligan https://padlet.com/apjohnlionelpanaligan/51k5w8ejvuqjvw2k/wish/2314782112 When it reaches the surface the mixture of super heated fluid and steam continue to flow through the pipeline. Entering a wellhead separator, and inside it decreases the pressure. Which makes it instantly vaporize and follow through the pipeline. ]]> 2022-09-27 03:17:04 UTC https://padlet.com/apjohnlionelpanaligan/51k5w8ejvuqjvw2k/wish/2314782112 apjohnlionelpanaligan https://padlet.com/apjohnlionelpanaligan/51k5w8ejvuqjvw2k/wish/2314789522 With the excess geothermal fluid that is not flash into steam it goes to the second vessel,  for an additional standard pressure steam is produced. The remaining fluid then continues to go in another vessel, but this time it is flash again with minimal pressure.]]> 2022-09-27 03:23:45 UTC https://padlet.com/apjohnlionelpanaligan/51k5w8ejvuqjvw2k/wish/2314789522 apjohnlionelpanaligan https://padlet.com/apjohnlionelpanaligan/51k5w8ejvuqjvw2k/wish/2314792673  To produce low pressure steam. All types of pressure is then sent to turbines. Fluids that still aren't flash goes to the reactor clarifier that returns it to geothermal reservoir through injection wells.]]> 2022-09-27 03:26:39 UTC https://padlet.com/apjohnlionelpanaligan/51k5w8ejvuqjvw2k/wish/2314792673 apjohnlionelpanaligan https://padlet.com/apjohnlionelpanaligan/51k5w8ejvuqjvw2k/wish/2314805968 Turbines are tools used to transform geothermal energy into mechanical energy, pressurized steam from geothermal fluids flows through pipelines to large steam turbines. The force and energy in the steam is used to spin the turbines blades. The turbines turn a shaft connected into a electrical generator. ]]> 2022-09-27 03:39:27 UTC https://padlet.com/apjohnlionelpanaligan/51k5w8ejvuqjvw2k/wish/2314805968 apjohnlionelpanaligan https://padlet.com/apjohnlionelpanaligan/51k5w8ejvuqjvw2k/wish/2314807411 Large copper bars carry the electrical charge to a step-up transformer outside the plant. Within the transformer, the voltage is increased. before the power is sent to homes and business.]]> 2022-09-27 03:40:57 UTC https://padlet.com/apjohnlionelpanaligan/51k5w8ejvuqjvw2k/wish/2314807411 apjohnlionelpanaligan https://padlet.com/apjohnlionelpanaligan/51k5w8ejvuqjvw2k/wish/2314809589 It is used to directly heat individual buildings and to heat multiple buildings with district heating systems. Hot water near the earth's surface is piped into buildings for heat. A district heating system provides heat for most of the buildings in Reykjavik, Iceland.]]> 2022-09-27 03:43:12 UTC https://padlet.com/apjohnlionelpanaligan/51k5w8ejvuqjvw2k/wish/2314809589 apjohnlionelpanaligan https://padlet.com/apjohnlionelpanaligan/51k5w8ejvuqjvw2k/wish/2314813233 Geothermal hot water can be used for many applications that require heat. Its current uses include heating buildings (either individually or whole towns), raising plants in greenhouses, drying crops, heating water at fish farms. Food dehydration (drying), gold mining, and milk pasteurization are some of the industrial uses of geothermal energy.]]> 2022-09-27 03:46:56 UTC https://padlet.com/apjohnlionelpanaligan/51k5w8ejvuqjvw2k/wish/2314813233
