"THE POTENTIAL OF GEOTHERMAL SOURCES IN SOUTHERN KAZAKHSTAN FOR HEAT SUPPLY TO RURAL CONSUMERS, the case OF THE ZHAMBYL REGION"

Abstract

"The article presents the characteristics of geothermal deposits in the south of Kazakhstan and the analysis of the potential of geothermal waters of the Zhambyl region. Moreover, the study carries out the review of various types and methods of using geothermal water for household and its needs. Consequently, it outlines information on thermal boreholes. During the elaboration, manufacture and testing of these combined power units, several scientific and technical issues, such as the choice of the optimal low-boiling working fluid for heat and hot water supply systems were solved. An overview of the refrigerants and vapor compression fluids currently available have been made. The classification and characteristics of secondary heat carriers of various types and temperatures of their use are given. Therefore, it is proposed to use non-azeotropic binary mixtures as working bodies of a closed heat-power circuit. Moreover, an analysis was carried out on the use of non-azeotropic mixtures for heat pumps. It is proposed to use mixtures of refrigerants as working bodies for the second circuit. The specific characteristics of refrigerants are outlined. As a result, a description of the operation scheme of a steam compression heat pump operating in the mode of heat and hot water supply is highlighted. "
