Inside this separator, the pressure of the fluid is reduced causing the fluids to rapidly vaporize into high pressure steam. ]]> 2022-09-12 09:02:54 UTC https://padlet.com/apjewelandrearivera/5ijvh1p4v7a0099i/wish/2291971445 apjewelandrearivera https://padlet.com/apjewelandrearivera/5ijvh1p4v7a0099i/wish/2291973552 The geo fluid flows to a second vessel called a standard pressure crystallizer, where another amount of STANDARD pressure steam is produced. Then, the remaining will go to the LOW PRESSURE crystallizer. ]]> 2022-09-12 09:04:43 UTC https://padlet.com/apjewelandrearivera/5ijvh1p4v7a0099i/wish/2291973552 apjewelandrearivera https://padlet.com/apjewelandrearivera/5ijvh1p4v7a0099i/wish/2291975825 All of the steams is delivered to a turbine. The fluids not turned into steam flows to the reactor clarifier system and returned to the geothermal reservoir. through injection wells for re use ]]> 2022-09-12 09:06:49 UTC https://padlet.com/apjewelandrearivera/5ijvh1p4v7a0099i/wish/2291975825 apjewelandrearivera https://padlet.com/apjewelandrearivera/5ijvh1p4v7a0099i/wish/2291980947 Turbines are the primary piece of equipment used to transform geo energy to mechanical energy. Pressurized steams from before flows through pipelines going through the turbines. Force and energy of the steam is used to spin turbine blades, turning a shaft, this shaft is connected to the electrical generator, charge is created when magnets rotate within generator. Later it will be converted into electricity used for business, work and homes. ]]> 2022-09-12 09:10:56 UTC https://padlet.com/apjewelandrearivera/5ijvh1p4v7a0099i/wish/2291980947
