Thermodynamic analysis of a half-effect absorption cooling system powered by a low-enthalpy geothermal source
A thermodynamic analysis of a half-effect absorption cooling system powered by a low-enthalpy geothermal source was carried out. This paper presents modeling of the half-effect absorption cooling system operating with an ... -
Current status of geothermal-electric production in Mexico
Located at the southern section of the North America Plate, Mexico is part of the Pacific Ring of Fire, with important portions of its territory subject to volcanic and seismic events, due to subduction and transforming ... -
Origin and evolution of geothermal fluids from Las Tres Vírgenes and Cerro Prieto fields, Mexico - Co-genetic volcanic activity and paleoclimatic constraints
Major and trace elements, noble gases, and stable (?D, ?18O) and cosmogenic (3H, 14C) isotopes were measured from geothermal fluids in two adjacent geothermal areas in NW-Mexico, Las Tres Vírgenes (LTV) and Cerro Prieto ... -
Hybrid solar-geothermal energy absorption air-conditioning system operating with NaOH-H 2 O-Las Tres Vírgenes (Baja California Sur), “La Reforma” case
Solar and geothermal energies are considered cleaner and more useful energy sources that can be used to avoid the negative environmental impacts caused by burning fossil fuels. Several works have reported air-conditioning ... -
Behaviour of the Production Characteristics of the Wells in the Las Tres Virgenes Geothermal field, México
Las Tres Vírgenes geothermal field is located on the peninsula of Baja California Sur, Mexico, 32 km to the NW of the city of Santa Rosalía, within the Las Tres Vírgenes volcanic complex, at an elevation of 720 meters above ... -
Estudio de microsismicidad en la Caldera La Reforma del complejo volcánico y geotérmico Las Tres Vírgenes, BCS
En este trabajo se muestran los resultados preliminares de la primera etapa del estudio de microsismicidad en la caldera La Reforma del Complejo Volcánico de Las Tres Vírgenes (CVLTV), BCS, el cual tiene como fin verificar ... -
CCWater – A computer program for chemical classification of geothermal waters
CCWater is a computer program developed for the application of extensively being used triangular diagrams for chemical classification and for identification of equilibrium conditions of waters. The program for these diagrams ... -
Origin of fluids in Las Tres Vírgenes Geothermal Field
A geochemical survey of fluids in the Las Tres Vírgenes geothermal field (LTVGF) in Baja California Sur, Mexico, was carried out to describe their origins and evolution within the reservoir. Major and minor elements and ... -
Geology of the late Pleistocene Tres Vírgenes Volcanic Complex, Baja California Sur (México)
(Taylor & Francis, 2019)The geological map of the Tres Vírgenes Volcanic Complex (TVVC) Baja California Sur, México consists of three northeast-southwest aligned stratovolcanoes named from older to younger, El Viejo, El Azufre, and La Virgen. The ... -
Signature of ongoing brine reinjection on noble gas isotopes and fluid chemistry at Las Tres Vírgenes geothermal field, Mexico
(Elsevier, 2019)A geochemical survey of the Las Tres Vírgenes geothermal field (LTVGF), Baja California Sur, Mexico, was carried out to determine the origin and evolution of its fluids, along with the influence of injection of local brines, ... -
Análisis termodinámico de depositación de calcita en sistemas hidrotermales
La incrustación mineral en sistemas hidrotermales y pozos geotérmicos, es común, lo cual puede generar dificultades durante la explotación del recurso geotérmico. En este trabajo se analizan los principales factores que ... -
Eruptive chronology and tectonic context of the late Pleistocene Tres Vírgenes volcanic complex, Baja California Sur (México)
(Elservier, 2018)Based on a detailed geological map and stratigraphy aided by new 230Th/238U and 206P/238U age determinations we established the eruptive chronology of the Tres Vírgenes Volcanic Complex (TVVC). The complex consists of three ... -
Mechanisms of arsenic enrichment in geothermal and petroleum reservoirs fluids in Mexico
The lack of chemical similarity between thermal fluids in geothermal and petroleum reservoirs in Mexico indicates a distinct origin for arsenic in both types of reservoirs. Deep fluids from geothermal reservoirs along the ... -
Main aspects of geothermal energy in Mexico
With an installed geothermal electric capacity of 853 MWe, Mexico is currently the third largest producer of geothermal power worldwide, after the USA and the Philippines. There are four geothermal fields now under ... -
Deep aquifer systems of geothermal and petroleum reservoirs in Mexico
Evaporated seawater and meteoric water infiltrated into the Activo Luna and Activo Samaria-Sitio Grande oil field reservoirs at the Mexican Gulf coast during Late Pleistocene to Early Holocene. On a local scale, secondary ... -
Rigorous Analysis of Available Data from Cerro Prieto and Las Tres Virgenes Geothermal Fields with Calculations for Expanded Electricity Generation
Changes in legislation have opened the Mexican geothermal resources for exploitation to private companies; therefore the evaluation of the known geothermal areas has a high priority to plan further exploitation and possibly ... -
Origin and evolution of geothermal fluids from Las Tres Vírgenes and Cerro Prieto fields, Mexico - Co-genetic volcanic activity and paleoclimatic constraints
Major and trace elements, noble gases, and stable (δD, δ18O) and cosmogenic (3H, 14C) isotopes were measured from geothermal fluids in two adjacent geothermal areas in NW-Mexico, Las Tres Vírgenes (LTV) and Cerro Prieto ...
