Abstract

To obtain an excellent heat exchange effect, it is necessary to optimize the technical processes of single-well coaxial heat exchange. Based on numerical simulation and field investigation, this study shows that a high inlet temperature can significantly improve the outlet temperature while a low inlet temperature can obtain a high heat extraction power. The outlet temperature and heat extraction power show a positive correlation binomial relation with the inlet flow rate, the thermal conductivity of cement, the thermal conductivity of reservoir and the borehole diameter, which exhibit linear negative and positive correlation relationships with the thermal conductivity of inner tube and geothermal gradient. The inlet flow rate, geothermal gradient and thermal conductivity of the inner tube are the most significant factors, followed by the thermal conductivity of reservoir and the borehole diameter, while the inlet temperature and thermal conductivity of cement are the insignificant factors. It is recommended to select the reservoirs with high geothermal gradient, good thermal conductivity and wide stable distribution, develop fixing well cement with high thermal conductivity and inner pipe materials with excellent insulation performance, reduce the inlet temperature, increase the inlet flow rate of working fluid and expand the well diameter while considering costs.
