A closed cycle system 10 for waste heat recovery includes a heat exchanger 25 configured to transfer heat from an external heat source 23 to the working fluid, an expander 27 fluidly connected to the heat exchanger 25 configured to expand the working fluid and produce mechanical energy, a recuperator 29 fluidly connected to the expander 27 and configured to remove heat from the working fluid, a condensing unit 31 fluidly connected to the recuperator configured to condense the working fluid, and a pump 39 fluidly connected to the condensing unit configured to pump the working fluid back to the recuperator. The path of the working fluid through the heat exchanger, the expander, the recuperator, the condensing unit and the pump is closed. |
