Evaluation of potential geothermal well-head flow sampling and calorimeter methods

The results of the evaluation of potential geothermal well-head calorimeter systems and flow sampling techniques are presented. The candidate calorimeter systems and flow sampling configurations are presented and discussed. The systems and configurations are compared and ranked relative to their potential usefulness for obtaining enthalpy measurements and representative sample flows at geothermal well heads. A preliminary test plan is presented to briefly indicate the type of field tests that are recommended for further development of selected candidate calorimeter methods and sample flow withdrawal apparatus.
