METHOD FOR IMPROVING THE PERFORMANCE OF THERMODYNAMIC CYCLES

摘要

A method for improving the performance of thermodynamic cycles, particularly based on C0₂ gas absorbed in a liquid absorbent used as working- fluid in a system comprising at least one C0₂ gas absorber, at least one heat exchanger and a device for converting gas expansion work to mechanical work. Said working fluid is fed to the device for releasing said CO₂ gas under pressure by heat supplied from an external heating source operating at least at 70°C, preferably at 80 to 90°C or higher, wherein the device being selected from the group consisting a modified 2-stroke engine, a turbocharger and a turbine.
