Chapter 256: Geothermal heating network

"What's the advanced point of this thing...?" The researchers looked at Chen Xin's piled up mechanical parts, and didn't even feel that this thing was advanced at all. They even felt that the heating hub that has not yet been assembled is a bit primitive. Something like the steam age.

Although steampunk is a popular element before the disaster, many people like this style full of steel, steam, soot, and industrialization when they mention science fiction. They like the style that seems to live in the eighteenth century. Daigo taste of the heyday of the first industrial revolution in the Victorian era.

But from a scientific point of view, this is still a very lagging way behind wasted energy use.

Although many sci-fi works have injected indescribable black technology into steampunk, and even allow a steam engine to drive a fortress to fly, the energy conversion efficiency of the steam engine can be magnified a hundred times, and the steam source can provide unlimited steam. The punched differential engine can develop artificial intelligence...

However, soot can only be produced when fuel is not fully burned, and only when waste heat cannot be efficiently used and recovered can a large amount of steam be produced. From the perspective of modern industrial aesthetics, this is undoubtedly a great waste.

In the eyes of this scientific researcher, this pile of parts for the heating hub that Chen Xin has put in a lot of effort is not as coveted as the electromagnetic metallurgical furnace on the side.

You must know that the metallurgical furnace uses a magnetic field to constrain this technology that is difficult to reproduce in the laboratory, let alone keep the liquid metal magnetic at high temperatures and still float.

If you can master the magnetic field confinement technology, and nothing else, the research on controllable nuclear fusion will make great progress, making nuclear fusion a new energy source. Isn't this more efficient and cleaner than extracting ground heat?

But Chen Xin didn’t think so. Faced with the doubts of the scientific researchers, he just smiled and shook his head, and said: “It is not an advanced thing in itself, and there is nothing to say about the technology of geothermal resource utilization, but it is Fill the ground with water, use geothermal heat to heat the water flow, and then pump it up to dissipate heat.

However, the heat dissipation efficiency of this thing is very high. According to my design, it can create a heating field with a temperature rise of 50°C within a radius of 200 meters. If everything goes well, I can use this heating hub to change the current The snow in the railway station where we are evaporating, instead of relying on manpower to clean it up.

You have just seen how people in this city load and unload materials. If the train station is not cleared out, the efficiency of loading and unloading materials in this city will be difficult to improve. "

"That's correct, but it still feels wasteful to do so. It's really a way of dissipating heat directly to the atmosphere..." The scientific researcher struggled with his wording, not knowing how to say it to appear rude.

Regarding this scientific researcher’s entanglement, Chen Xin just glanced at him and did not comment too much, but he explained to him: “It is really wasteful to dissipate heat directly to the atmosphere. If these energy can be used more effectively, it can be used. A greater role, such as using thermal energy to drive electrical equipment to clean up the snow is more efficient.

But now the city obviously does not have these conditions. I can only rely on this relatively extensive method to clean up the snow here in the railway station. It will waste a little for the time being, but after the snow is cleared, I will heat this The hub is remodeled to provide heat and power to the railway station. At that time, there will be no such extensive heat dissipation. "

"It turns out that this is the case, then this is indeed feasible." After listening to Chen Xin's explanation, the researchers thought about it carefully and found that this is indeed feasible, and quickly thought that this technology could be applied in their minds. Other places: "For example, on a construction site, first set up such a heating hub, expand the heating field to increase the temperature of the area, so that the construction can proceed smoothly, and after the construction is completed, the heating hub will be transformed into a source of heating and power supply for the building. , This is indeed a very feasible technology!"

Hearing what the researchers said, Chen Xin also nodded in surprise: "Yes, yes! Your idea is more widely used and more feasible than what I had previously envisioned. My original idea was to use the supply Hot hubs are used to build greenhouses. Now it seems that the scope of application of this thing should be wider!"

"Greenhouse? It's a good idea to use this to build a greenhouse! In this way, some of the cultivated land that has been covered by snow can be reused! The country is currently short of food. If the use of some cultivated land can be restored, then That’s great news!” This scientific researcher is obviously not the kind of person who only engages in scientific research and is indifferent to other things. Chen Xin mentioned greenhouses, and he naturally thinks of farmland and food.

Chen Xin was also interested at this time, and wanted to have a good chat with professional scientific researchers about this heating hub. Not only did he project the design of the heating hub on the snow through a robotic arm, he also attached it to the side. After reading the reconstruction drawing and the drawings of the energy tower, pointing to the three drawings, he said: “This is a completed heating hub. According to the design, there are two forms. One is such a heat dissipation mode, which can expand a radius of two hundred. There is also this kind of energy supply mode for the rice heating field, which does not dissipate heat, but converts heat energy into electrical energy to supply nearby places in need."

"Then this big one is a heating hub in an enlarged mode?" The scientific researcher glanced at the two modes of the heating hub, UU reading www.uukanshu.com focused on the drawing of the energy tower.

"This is an energy tower. According to my design, it can mine deep geothermal resources below 3,000 meters, and can be used in conjunction with a heating hub." Seeing that researchers are interested in energy towers, Chen Xin also introduced enthusiastically: "Build an energy tower in an area, and then build a heating hub where it is needed, and connect it to the energy tower through pipes. The energy tower will provide heat to the heating hub, so that a heating network can be built. Up."

"Is this prepared for urban heating? It would be great if a geothermal heating network can be built in the city!" The researchers looked forward to this and changed their attitudes, and were very optimistic about Chen Xin's project .

On the other hand, the civilian officials on the side couldn’t speak. He only understood what Chen Xin and the researchers were talking about. Before turning the corner, they had already changed the topic. This made this civilian. The official was a little uncomfortable, so he interjected while the two paused: "Since Mr. Chen, you have decided to stay in the city temporarily, then I will go back to the higher-level department, but you are here to study this project and you need to send someone to help. ?"
