Description
Product Introduction
An important component in the SCO₂ cycle system, it uses efficient heat exchange technology to heat carbon dioxide to high temperatures, enhancing system efficiency. With advantages such as compact structure, efficient heat transfer, high-temperature and high-pressure resistance, it can improve energy utilization efficiency and reduce carbon emissions.
Features
1.High Efficiency: Utilizes microchannel structures to achieve efficient heat exchange, reducing energy consumption and improving energy utilization efficiency.
2.High Compactness: Small in size and footprint, saving space.
3.High Reliability: Features excellent corrosion resistance and can withstand extreme temperatures (0-900°C) and high pressures (up to 100 MPa), ensuring stable operation in various harsh environments.
Working principle
Utilize heat to raise the temperature of CO₂ above its critical point (31.1°C and 7.38 MPa), at which point CO₂ behaves as a supercritical fluid with both gas and liquid characteristics. In this state, SCO₂ is introduced into the heater, where it absorbs thermal energy from a heat source (such as a nuclear reactor, solar receiver, or waste heat flow). The heated SCO₂ is then in a high-temperature, high-pressure state and is directed to drive a turbine for electricity generation.
