Abstract
In the paper presented have been the results of the analysis of
effectiveness of operation of binary power plant consisting of combined
two Clausius-Rankine cycles, namely the binary cycle with water as a
working fluid in the upper cycle and organic substance as a working fluid
in the lower cycle, as well as a single fluid component power plant
operating also in line with the C-R cycle for superheated steam, with
water as a working fluid. The influence of the parameters of superheated
steam in the upper cycle has been assessed as well as the type of working
fluid in the lower cycle. The results of calculations have been referred
to the single-cycle classical steam power plant operating at the same
parameters of superheated steam and the same mass flow rate of water
circulating in both cycles. On the basis of accomplished analysis it has
been shown that the binary power plant shows a greater power with respect
to the reference power plant.
