Waste and Process Heat
Utilizing Energent's Euler Turbine the world's first solar thermal Kalina cycle power plant will provide power for the 2010 World Expo in Shanghai.
Energent built a 10 kW pilot plant to validate the performance predictions for the Variable Phase Cycle (VPC). It is a self-contained, closed-loop VPC that utilizes an electric heater to simulate the heat source. Testing has been performed with R245fa and R227ea, and the system has performed as predicted, validating the analytical model.
