Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A geothermal heat extractor includes a heat transfer fluid and a heat transfer fluid supply conduit. The heat transfer fluid is maintained in the supply conduit in a liquid state at a pressure above its saturation pressure. The geothermal heat extractor further includes a heat transfer fluid return conduit, a geothermal heat source coupled thereto, at least one flow control valve configured to control the flow of the heat transfer fluid from the supply conduit to the return conduit, and an external load coupled to the return conduit. As the heat transfer fluid is provided to the return conduit in the liquid state, the heat transfer fluid vaporizes in the return conduit by heat supplied to the return conduit from the geothermal heat source. The vaporized heat transfer fluid is supplied from the return conduit to the external load.
