System and Method of Maximizing Performance of a Solid-State Closed Loop Well Heat Exchanger

A system comprising:

• a heat harnessing component having a closed-loop solid state heat extraction system, the closed-loop solid state heat extraction system including a heat exchanging element configured with a dividing wall and positioned within a heat nest in a well designed to optimize the transfer of heat emanating from a geothermal source from a solid state heat conductive material to a closed loop fluid flow, the heat exchanging element configured so that the fluid exchanges heat with the solid state heat conductive material on either side of the dividing wall;
• the solid state heat conductive material comprises a combination of a heat conductive material and grout configured to substantially fill a bore hole of the well after the heat exchanging element is installed in the well, and to bond and solidify within the well so as to create a heat exchanging mechanism and transfer a solid state heat flow to a fluid flowing in the closed loop fluid flow;
• multiple bore holes being drilled into rock surrounding the heat nest configured to create more surface area through which geothermal energy may flow, the multiple bore holes being drilled in multiple directions, including drilled vertically, horizontally, diagonally or any angle, in relation to the bore hole of the well and being filled with at least heat conductive material;
• and
• a piping component including a set of downward-flowing pipes and a set of upward-flowing pipes, the upward-flowing pipes configured to convey contents of the piping component heated by the heat exchanging element to a surface of the well.

• and
• the heat exchanging element being configured with a dividing wall and positioned within the heat nest, configured to:
• receive the fluid at the bottom of the well from a downwardly-flowing feeder pipe in the closed loop system,
• increase the time the fluid spends flowing through the solid state heat conductive material so that the fluid exchanges heat with the solid state heat conductive material on either side of the dividing wall so as to increase the transfer of heat from the solid state heat conductive material to the fluid at the bottom of the well, and
• provide heated fluid from the bottom of the well to an upwardly-flowing feeder pipe in the closed loop system.
