Abstract

L'invention concerne une installation d'exploitation géothermique comportant une conduite principale (20) disposée dans l'ouverture (10) d'un puits, dotée de plusieurs orifices de passage (23) vers l'extérieur et divisée en une partie supérieure et en une partie inférieure par une fermeture transversale (21) qui comporte une ouverture dans laquelle est logé un dispositif ou une partie de dispositif (22) qui déclenche un écoulement et/ou y contribue. Dans la conduite principale (20) est disposé au moins un dispositif d'exploitation de chaleur (30) et, au moins dans la zone des orifices de passage (23), la conduite principale (20) est de préférence entièrement entourée d'un matériau poreux en vrac (11) qui comble au moins une partie de la cavité restante de l'ouverture (10) autour de la conduite principale (20). Au niveau de la fermeture transversale (21) à l'intérieur de la conduite principale (20), le matériau poreux (11) est remplacé par un matériau d'étanchéité (12) qui crée ainsi une séparation hydraulique. L'invention porte également sur l'utilisation de cette installation pour l'apport ou l'évacuation de chaleur, la décontamination d'eaux souterraines et/ou la production de courant.
