<p>The engine has a work medium circuit with an energy converter (7), a cooler (8), a compressor (9) and a heater (6). The medium is supercritical carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide is compressed in the compressor to between 100 and 175 bar, with an outlet temperature between 20[deg]C and 50[deg]C. The heater heats it by between 10[deg]C and 60[deg]C by energy from a second fluid circuit. This circuit can be the cooling circuit (3) of a heat pump or combustion engine, or the work medium circuit of a solar heater. The energy convertor generates power, and the carbon dioxide exits it at between 73.8 and 100 bar. The cooler cools it to the compressor inlet temperature.</p> |
