| Popis: |
The Reykjavik District Heating Services operate several low-temperature geothermal fields within the city of Reykjavik. The production is approximately 550 MW and the hot water is used for space heating in Reykjavik and nearby communities. For the future a 400 MW power plant is under construction at Nesjavellir some 25 km from Reykjavik where a high-temperature field will be used for power production. Due to the high concentration of dissolved solids in the produced fluid the water cannot be used directly. Instead, cold water from nearby lava aquifers must be heated in specially designed heat exchangers. The spent geothermal fluid will then be disposed of in surface ponds where it will percolate down to the cold water reservoir. |
