Therefore, this study examines a double recompression T-CO<ce:inf loc=\"post\">2</ce:inf> power cycle to optimize the design point pump inlet temperature and investigate part-load performance under cold source fluctuations. Results indicate that the lowest design point pump inlet temperature is optimal for low temperature cold sources and high load conditions to maximize thermal efficiency. When the system operates at 80 % load with a cold source temperature of 5 °C, the thermal efficiencies at the design point pump inlet temperature of 15 °C and 25 °C are 58 % and 56.93 %, respectively. In contrast, a moderate design point pump inlet temperature is better suited for accommodating wide fluctuations in operating conditions. A lower cold source temperature helps mitigate the reduction in thermal efficiency caused by load decreases. Furthermore, reducing the split ratio of low-temperature compressor can enhance thermal efficiency as the cold source temperature increases. These findings provide an effective approach to minimizing performance degradation in the T-CO<ce:inf loc=\"post\">2</ce:inf> power cycle under off-design conditions.","PeriodicalId":17078,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Supercritical Fluids","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142789994","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
