This configuration enables GTCC power plants to achieve higher thermal efficiency than non-GTCC plants such as conventional boiler steam turbine plants. Isobar super-thermal conductors, used in conjunction with Isoplatens, permit each core molding surface to be held at the optimum uniform molding temperature and provide high thermal efficiency, according to the literature. Although the split-cycle design has been continually dismissed for the past 90 years as having inherent problems when it comes to volumetric and thermal efficiency, Scuderi says it has eliminated those issues, thanks to several breakthroughs. |
