CO2 Carnot-type cycle based on isothermal vapour compression.

Author(s) : TOUBLANC C., CLAUSSE M., TERRIER M. F., et al.

Summary

The purpose of this work is to explore the possibility of enhancing the CO2 transcritical cycle by performing a novel Carnot-type cycle between two heat sources at T(High) and T(Low). From a thermodynamical point of view, the proposed design, with ideal evolutions, achieves to get close to Carnot COP. The influence of expansion irreversibilities was explored too. Finally, a design resulting from a compromise between complexity and performance is retained.
