Geothermal Glossary
Word of the Week – Convection
Convection Refers to heat transfer by fluid circulation in permeable rocks where thermal energy is transported with the flow of hot fluid (water or steam).
Word of the Week – Cooling Tower
Cooling Tower Plant equipment that is used to dissipate heat into air rather than into a river. Cooling is induced in two different ways. For binary plants, dry cooling towers use fans to draw air across a heat exchanger and this removes heat from a working fluid...
Word of the Week – Cyclone Separator
