Ground-heat source: alternative way of heating natural gas following Joule-Thomson pressure reductions in supply pipes.

Type of article: Article

Summary

The Joule-Thomson reduction of temperature, which natural gas experiences when it undergoes a deliberate pressure reduction in passing from the national grid to a local supply-line, can be compensated for by heat conducted from the soil surrounding the buried outlet pipeline. The heating of the relatively-cold gas may be accomplished by requiring it to flow through a network of parallel well-displaced small-bore buried pipes.
