Study Incentives<br />

o Supercritical CO 2 cycle demonstrates some advantages<br />

<strong>in</strong> comparison to He cycle<br />

- higher cycle efficiency (Y. Kato, 2003),<br />

- better turbomach<strong>in</strong>ery (Y. Muto, 2003),<br />

- power generation cost is expected to be smaller.<br />

o High efficiency recuperator is a crucial component <strong>of</strong><br />

supercritical CO 2 cycle. The targeted recuperator<br />

effectiveness is as high as 95%.<br />

o PCHE is a promis<strong>in</strong>g heat exchanger because it<br />

- is able to withstand the pressure up to 50 MPa and the temperature up<br />

to 700 o C (reliability ),<br />

- has a high compactness and high efficiency (cost reduction).<br />
