This work focuses on the off-design analysis of a simple recuperative transcritical power cycle working with the CO₂ + C₆F₆ mixture as working fluid. The cycle is air-cooled and proposed for a state-of-the-art concentrated solar plant with solar salts as heat transfer fluid in a hot region, with a cycle minimum and maximum temperature of 51 °C...

The utilisation of certain blends based on supercritical CO2 (sCO2), namely CO2/TiCl4, CO2/C6F6 and CO2/SO2, have been found to be promising for enhancing the performance of power cycles for Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) applications; allowing for up to a 6% enhancement in cycle efficiency with respect to a simple recuperated CO2 cycle,...
