Thermal and fluid processes in a closed-loop geothermal system using CO2 as a working fluid

A co-axial closed-loop geothermal system is a new method to extract geothermal energy. It uses a continuously closed wellbore and the closed system can avoid many problems of traditional geothermal development methods, such as reservoir blockage and heat transmission fluid leakage. Generally, water as a working fluid will cause a series of problems which are not conducive to the operation and maintenance of the geothermal system. Recently, using...
