Abstract

A system for geothermal heating, the system comprising a forced geothermal circuit in communication with a well bore; a gyroid heat exchanger, the gyroid heat exchanger in communication with a closed loop working fluid circuit; and a production casing. A method of optimizing energy recovery from a geothermal well comprising selecting a well bore gyroid heat exchanger depth; and adjusting an annulus liquid level.

Claims (26)

1 . A system for geothermal heating, the system comprising:

a forced geothermal circuit in communication with a well bore;

a gyroid heat exchanger;

said gyroid heat exchanger in communication with a closed loop working fluid circuit; and

a production casing.

2 . The system of claim 1 wherein said closed-loop working fluid circuit comprises an annulus.

3 . The system of claim 1 wherein said closed-loop working fluid circuit comprises insulated tubing.

4 . The system of claim 1 further comprising a pump.

5 . The system of claim 4 wherein said pump is an electric submersible pump.

6 . The system of claim 1 further comprising a working fluid.

7 . The system of claim 6 wherein said working fluid is pressurized.

8 . The system of claim 6 wherein said working fluid comprises a liquid phase.

9 . The system of claim 6 wherein said working fluid comprises a mixed-phase.

10 . The system of claim 6 wherein said working fluid comprises a dry phase.

11 . The system of claim 6 wherein said working fluid comprises a single phase.

12 . The system of claim 1 further comprising a multilateral channel.

13 . The system of claim 1 further comprising a polished bore receptacle.

14 . The system of claim 1 further comprising a flow diverter.

15 . The system of claim 1 further comprising a triply periodic minimal surface lattice.

16 . The system of claim 15 wherein said triply periodic minimal surface lattice comprises a flow baffling.

17 . The system of claim 6 wherein said working fluid has a high enthalpy density.

18 . A method of optimizing energy recovery from a geothermal well comprising:

selecting a well bore gyroid heat exchanger depth; and

adjusting an annulus liquid level.

19 . The method of claim 18 further comprising matching a working fluid operating pressure to a static head.

20 . The method of claim 18 further comprising controlling a boiling point of a working fluid.
