Abstract:
Systems and methods for producing energy from a geothermal formation. A heat exchanger can be disposed within a well to absorb heat from a geothermal formation. The heat exchanger can be supported within the well using a high thermal conductivity material. The heat exchanger is connected to an organic Rankine cycle engine including a secondary heat exchanger and a turbine. The primary and secondary heat transfer fluids are chosen to maximize efficiency of the organic Rankine cycle.

Claim (Index 22):
A method of generating electricity using geothermal energy comprising:\n moving a first heat transfer fluid into a primary heat exchanger positioned within a well, the well in contact with a geothermal feature and a heat carrier within the geothermal formation; absorbing, in the first heat transfer fluid, heat from the heat carrier in the well; moving the first heat transfer fluid out of the primary heat exchanger and out of the well and into a secondary heat exchanger; transferring heat from the first heat transfer fluid to the second heat transfer fluid within the secondary heat exchanger, vaporizing the secondary heat transfer fluid in the secondary heat exchanger; flowing the vaporized secondary heat transfer fluid into a turbine, the turbine connected to an electrical generator and the vaporized secondary heat transfer fluid moving the turbine; and generating electricity in the electrical generator using the movement of the turbine.
