Geothermal gas sampling methods

Description: A method for geothermal gas collection for chemical and isotopic gas analysis is described. The CO/sub 2/ and H/sub 2/S are absorbed in a NaOH solution and the residual gas collected in a bottle. The method can be used for sampling gases from hot springs, fumaroles, steam wells, hot water wells, etc. (WHK)

Choice of working fluid and operating conditions for energy conversion with geothermal heat sources

Description: A study of electric power generating cycles which can be used in conjunction with a low-temperature geothermal energy (sensible heat) source is presented. Investigators at Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory have proposed a steam/isobutane dual cycle capable of generating 50.7 Mw of electric power. This cycle is optimized using regenerative feed water heating to yield a power output of 52.1 Mw or an improvement of 2.8%. Other power cycle designs and working fluids are investigated. Working fluids … more
