A geothermal heat exchanger includes a water injection pipe installed underground and receiving water supplied from above ground and a steam extraction pipe installed underground and contiguous to the water injection pipe. The steam extraction pipe has a plurality of gushing ports at its lower part, and pressure in the steam extraction pipe is decreased approximately to pressure required by a turbine. The steam extraction pipe is formed such that the diameter of the steam extraction pipe becomes smaller from the lower side of the geothermal region toward the upper side of a ground surface. Water supplied to the water injection pipe becomes high-temperature pressurized water by heat supplied from the geothermal region, and gushes from the gushing ports into the steam extraction pipe in an atomized state, and is then converted into a steam single-phase flow, and allows a power generator to conduct power generation.
