It is shown that the existing technological systems of geothermal power stations in Russia do not enable the thermal potential of underground hot water to be used efficiently due to the presence of mineral compounds in them. To increase the operating efficiency of these natural resources, a complex approach to them -both to the heat-transfer agents and to the raw sources of mineral compounds -is required.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
