DUAL REHEAT RANKINE CYCLE SYSTEM AND METHOD THEREOF

摘要

A rankine cycle system includes a heater configured to circulate a working fluid in heat exchange relationship with a hot fluid to vaporize the working fluid. A hot system is coupled to the heater. The hot system includes a first heat exchanger configured to circulate a first vaporized stream of the working fluid from the heater in heat exchange relationship with a first condensed stream of the working fluid to heat the first condensed stream of the working fluid. A cold system is coupled to the heater and the hot system. The cold system includes a second heat exchanger configured to circulate a second vaporized stream of the working fluid from the first system in heat exchange relationship with a second condensed stream of the working fluid to heat the second condensed stream of the working fluid before being fed to the heater.
