Abstract
As part of a DOE contract, the Denver Research Institute has designed and build instrumentation to make measurements of parameters in the two phase flow zone of producing geothermal wells. The original probe is capable of measuring both pressure and temperature in real time, and a second probe, which was recently fabricated, incorporates spinner type flowmeter and a phase (gas/liquid) sensing device in addition to the original transducers.
