Claim 14:
15. A system for generating geothermal power in the vicinity of a wellhead, the system comprising:
one or more temperature sensors to provide a first temperature defined by a temperature of wellhead fluid flowing from one or more wellheads;
one or more heat exchange valves to divert flow of wellhead fluid from the one or more wellheads based on the first temperature;
one or more high-pressure heat exchangers including a first fluid path to accept and output the flow of wellhead fluid from the one or more heat exchange valves and a second fluid path to accept and output the flow of a working fluid, the one or more high-pressure heat exchangers to indirectly transfer heat from the flow of wellhead fluid to the flow of the working fluid to thereby generate a heated working fluid;
one or more electrical generator units connected to the second fluid path of the high-pressure heat exchanger to thereby cause the heated working fluid to flow to the one or more electrical generator units, the heated working fluid to cause the one or more electrical generator units to generate electrical power; and
one or more air coolers to receive at least a portion of the electrical power from the one or more electrical power units, the one or more air coolers including
a third fluid path connected to the first fluid path of the one or more high-pressure heat exchangers to allow wellhead fluid to flow therethrough, and
one or more fans to move air over the third fluid path to cause the wellhead fluid therein to cool.
