Cascade Utilisation Flow Diagram

Production well → high-temperature uses, 80-60°C: thermal driving of liquid-desiccant dehumidification, bathing-pool heating and domestic hot-water heating → intermediate uses, ≤60°C: play-pool make-up water and temperature maintenance, low-temperature make-up water heating and floor/air-conditioning heating → low-temperature uses, 40-20°C: water-source heat-pump recovery and heating → reinjection, ≤20°C. Temperature bands are illustrative source values, not fixed design setpoints.

Water-Source Heat-Pump Operation

Electrical input enables a heat pump to transfer low-grade source heat to a higher useful temperature. Cooling: compressor → condenser, rejecting heat to groundwater/cooling water → expansion valve → evaporator, absorbing heat from building chilled water → compressor. Heating: the condenser heats building water; the expansion valve reduces refrigerant pressure; the evaporator extracts source-water heat; vapour returns to the compressor.

Operating-Cost Comparison - Assumptions

Historical brochure assumptions: boiler efficiency 85%; gas RMB 2.6/m³; electricity RMB 0.68/kWh; year-round demand. Winter 24 h/day, with heating 70% of load; summer/shoulder seasons 16 h/day. Equivalent full-load factors account for variable load. Heat-pump example: 0.25 kWh electricity per kWh heat, costing RMB 0.17/kWh heat. Source boiler estimate: 0.1143 Nm³ gas per kWh heat, about RMB 0.30/kWh heat. These are historical modelling assumptions, not current prices, a quotation or guaranteed savings.

Well 3 - Hot-Water Preheating Example

Source water 33°C, 80 t/h; hotel demand 300 t/day; mains-water reference 13°C. Avoided heating = 300 × 4.187 × (33-13) / 3.6 = 6,978.33 kWh/day. At boiler efficiency 0.85 and gas heat value 10 kWh/m³: about 821 m³/day. At RMB 3.2/m³: RMB 2,627.2/day; source annual result RMB 958,905. Excludes avoided water purchases. Source units and rounding contain inconsistencies; gas price is interpreted as RMB/m³.
