丰顺县地处广东省东部,是著名的温泉之乡,我国第一座地热试验电站就建于此,它不仅填补了我国地热发电史上的空白,而且在国内外均有一定的影响。本文介绍了丰顺县地热资源的情况,开发条件,论述了开发利用该地区地热资源的必要性和可行性。

Fengshun County is located in the eastern part of Guangdong Province. It is one of the counties which abound with geothermal resources. There are 16 hydrothermal activity areas in the county and 15 among them belong to hot springs with the maximum surface temperature between 45℃ and local boiling point. There is only one warm spring and its temperature is 39℃. The distribution of these hydrothermal areas is under the control of the rift belt. According to estimation, the natural heat output of all the hydrothermal areas is about 57390 kJ/s.Of these 16 hydrothermal areas, Tangkeng, Dengwu and Fenglian are located in the county city or village towns and the drilling work for hot water has already been made. This provides good conditions for using hot water in this county. In 1970, the first geothermal power station of China was built at Dengwu and now the installed capacity is 586 kW. The authors put forward some suggestions for exploitation and utilization of the geothermal energy in the abovementioned areas.
