Resumen

This work summarizes cases of defects in the design and execution process of low enthalpy geothermal systems. It is based on the research experi- ence and the review and design of facilities and processes carried out in the TIDOP research group of the University of Salamanca during the last 4 years. A detailed report is presented of the observed cases as well as their frequency, also mitigation and remedial measures are proposed when this is possible. The im- portance of refining all the design and execution techniques of these systems to favor their large-scale implementation is also highlighted. This implementation is increasingly necessary in a scenario of electrification of heating/cooling sys- tems to contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gases, taking into account the horizon set by the European Union for the coming years.
