The experience we got ... Pangalengan

The experience I  got ..The tea plantation ..takes 4 hours by car .

The scene is just so beautiful beautiful tea plantations on the left and right side of the roads along ....
Pangalengan popular with the green tea plantation and the beautiful panorama
CAMP Permanent VILLAGE of PANGALENGAN SITE
Here.. I stay @ 2 nights  Villa is simple but comfortable, with very cold air and cool, approximately 18 degrees during the day and 5 to 10 degrees at night .. Can u imagine how cold this place? .. and Here are also available facilities, there are special restourant employee, breakfast lunch and dinner are provided here. With a variety of menu .
it's time to let go of all the routine  with all busy schedule on the weekdays ?.., we need a rest .
BOSCHA
It's historic place, Surounded by small forest who BOSSCHA , he was agreat scientist, according from 'Pak Upir" , guard of Bosscha cemetery who was founded the tea plantation of pangalengan area ( Kertamanah and Malabar tea plantation ),
Around me, Saninten Trees..its already five century old.
SITU CILEUNCA
 
And here a LAKE ..SITU CILEUNCA ( situ means Lake ).located near Pangalengan area, natural and beauty panoramic...( I remember there was someone who wanted to be alone here...on the shores of lake.. .( halooo.? someday..ok ..) ..and also mySon Gib's, wanted to get married..later around the lake ...and Nabila dreams'..having a beautiful house near lake .. its really beautiful so.. hope ..dreams all come true..
BOSSCHA MUSEUM
GEOTHERMAL SITE
Geothermal Site, Geothermal , ecological energy solution,...
and I had the opportunity to visit a special area of natural gas processing, the largest in asiaactually , i dont understand about what really ..Geothermal.. The name geothermal comes from two Greek words geo means earth and thermal means heat so ... everything about Geothermal is here..

What is geothermal energy?
Geothermal energy is defined as heat from the Earth. It is a clean, renewable resource that provides energy in the United States and around the world. It is considered a renewable resource because the heat emanating from the interior of the Earth is essentially limitless. The heat continuously flowing from the Earth’s interior is estimated to be equivalent to 42 million megawatts of power ... .
What are the different ways in which geothermal energy can be used?
Geothermal energy can be used for electricity production, for direct use purposes, and for home heating efficiency (through geothermal heat pumps).
***Geothermal electricity
To develop electricity from geothermal resources, wells are drilled into the natural hot water or steam, known as a geothermal reservoir. The reservoir collects many meters below the groundwater table. Wells bring the geothermal liquid to the surface, where it is converted at a power plant into electricity ... .
***Direct Use Direct use applications utilize geothermal heat without first converting it to electricity, such as for space heating and cooling, food preparation, industrial processes, etc. People have been taking advantage of direct use applications for centuries ... .
***Geothermal Heat Pumps (GHPs)
Geothermal heat pumps are devices that take advantage of the relatively constant temperature of the Earth's interior, using it as a source and sink of heat for both heating and cooling. When cooling, heat is extracted from the space and dissipated into the Earth; when heating, heat is extracted from the Earth and pumped into the space ... .
What more can you tell me about geothermal electric power plants?
There are four widely used types of geothermal power plants, and three types that are more experimental at this time.
*** Flash Power Plant Geothermal steam is separated in a surface vessel (steam separator) and delivered to the turbine, and the turbine powers a generator. ***Dry Steam Power Plant Steam directly from the geothermal reservoir runs the turbines that power the generator, and no separation is necessary because wells only produce steam. The image below is a more simplified version than the image above.
***Binary Power Plant
Recent advances in geothermal technology have made possible the economic production of electricity from lower temperature geothermal resources, at 100o C (212o F) to 150o C (302 o F). Known as binary geothermal plants, these facilities reduce geothermal energy’s already low emission rate to near zero.
In the binary process, the geothermal water heats another liquid, such as isobutane, that boils at a lower temperature than water. The two liquids are kept completely separate through the use of a heat exchanger used to transfer the heat energy from the geothermal water to the “working-fluid." The secondary fluid vaporizes into gaseous vapor and (like steam) the force of the expanding vapor turns the turbines that power the generators.
***Flash/Binary Combined Cycle
This type of plant, which uses a combination of flash and binary technology, has been used effectively to take advantage of the benefits of both technologies. In this type of plant, the flashed steam is first converted to electricity with a backpressure steam turbine, and the low-pressure steam exiting the backpressure turbine is condensed in a binary system

The environmental harmony at wayang windu mountain Pangalengan.
So , After all.. it's a blessing from Allah..
Thanks ya Allah for this experience .. for this memory ..This experience has been enlightening for me as to how much i take for granted, And I realized I was getting old,then always wanted to know everything... I thank Allah for giving me the ability to communicate my thoughts my knowledge my experience for I've written and expressed here..especially for my child, one day when I die, my children will remember with what I wrote on this blog...
