Heat loss and pressure loss at geothermal fluids flow it is often faced in geothermal exploration. Heat loss along pipe is caused condensation that changed vapor to water (liquid). Liquid phase at geothermal fluids it is something that we want not happen because it would change fluids enthalpy and also liquid phase would damaged the turbine that been designed just been support by vapor. Liquid phase have to been moved before come to the turbine use vapor-liquid separator. At geothermal production flow, would happen heat and pressure loss, it would cause fluids energy before come to turbine decrease. Major pressure loss happen because there are a friction between fluids and pipe, and a differential elevation. Heat loss at producing pipe happen because there are a different temperature between inner and outer of the pipe, which is temperature the geothermal fluids are higher than ambient temperature. <br /> <br /> <br /> To minimize pressure loss along producing pipe, friction between fluids and pipe have to be reduced. Flow model are an important thing to measure the pressure loss, which is depend on fraction of vapor in the fluids. Condensate trap are commonly used in geothermal producing pipe, so if it producing condensaet, the condensate would be moved from producing pipe, if condensate was moved, it is would affect the fluids flow model. <br /> <br /> <br /> To minimize heat loss the heat flow speed from pipe to ambient have to be slowed. To slowed the heat flow, insulator are needed along producing pipe.
