| PureCycle® System — How It Works |
How the PureCycle® power system works
- Hot water enters the evaporator to heat the system working fluid until it is vaporized. The hot water supplied can originate from a geothermal resource or other waste heat source. The hot water can then be re-injected into the ground for geothermal applications or returned to its original source as required for industrial waste heat applications.
- Hot vaporized working fluid then enters the power module and drives a turbine to create electrical power.
- The expanded vapor cycles through a condenser where it is cooled and condensed to liquid form.
- The cooled liquid is then sent to the pump, boosted in pressure and sent back to the evaporator.
The system described here is cooled with a wet cooling tower. UTC Power's closed-loop Organic Rankine Cycle is designed to generate 280 kW gross power.
