Purpose & Scientific Principle
This exhibit guides the audience to pay attention to the application of geothermal energy power generation in daily production activities by allowing the audience to detect geothermal energy, understand the principles of geothermal energy power generation and factors affecting power generation.
How to Operate
Anhui Province is rich in geothermal resources, which can be basically divided into two types: uplift mountain convection type and sedimentary basin conduction type. Uplifted mountain type geothermal resources are mainly distributed in the Dabie Mountains (Dabie Mountain fault block uplift zone), Chaohu-Hexian area (Chaohu dome fault fold zone) and Wannan mountainous area (Jiangnan Tai uplift deep fault zone). They are all of the deep circulation type within the convective plate of the uplifted mountains, and the geothermal energy is mainly hot springs; conductive geothermal resources are mainly distributed in Anhui. The northwest region, the northern Anhui region, the Huainan depression and fault belt, the central Anhui basin area and the areas along the river. Among them, the Bofu fault basin in northwest Anhui, the Huainan depression and fault zone, the Hefei-Dingyuan basin in central Anhui, the basins along the Yangtze River and the Nan (Ling) - Huang (Chi) are all fault basins, and the geothermal displays are all manually exposed geothermal boreholes.

The exhibits are designed to demonstrate the process and principles of geothermal energy power generation. The geothermal energy display in Anhui is used as the background. A floor tile screen is set up on the ground. The picture is a huge map of Anhui Province. Three sets of "energy detectors" are set up in conjunction with the energy columns. Participants hold the detectors to find areas rich in geothermal energy on the map. When approaching, a signal is sent out through sensor detection to light up the nearby energy column. Participants need to move the detector to the corresponding area on the map before the lights go out to supply energy to the energy column.
