BINARY CYCLE
a. Geothermal Vent
A deep well is drilled into the surface of the well to extract hot water from the
geothermal source called geothermal vent.
b. Stream Tank
Water from the geothermal source is taken into the tank where some of it is
converted into the steam and some into the boiling water.
c. High Pressure Separator
Steam tank have boiling water and high pressure steam together at same
place. High pressure separator separates the steam from the water and
forwards the steam to the turbine and water toward low pressure separator.
d. Low Pressure Separator
Boiling water from the high pressure separator in move to the low pressure
separator after passing through the throttling valve. Low pressure separator
separates the low pressure steam from the boiling water.
e. Turbine
Steam turbines are used to produce the electricity from steam. Steam are
introduce at two points, high pressure steam is introduce at first stage and low
pressure steam is introduce at few stages back from the first stage.
f. Condense
Steam which passes from the turbine is still at very high pressure and that
pressure is reduce by condenser and steam is converted into the water.
