Abstract: A carbon dioxide recovery system includes an absorption tower, a regeneration tower, a rich liquid line, a lean liquid line, a heat exchange unit, and a warn fluid supply unit. The absorption tower allows a carbon dioxide containing gas containing carbon dioxide to contact an absorption liquid capable of absorbing carbon dioxide and produces a rich liquid corresponding to an absorption liquid having absorbed carbon dioxide of the carbon dioxide containing gas. The regeneration tower heats the rich liquid to discharge carbon dioxide from the rich liquid and produces a lean liquid corresponding to an absorption liquid having discharged carbon dioxide. The rich liquid line guides the rich liquid from the absorption tower to the regeneration tower. The lean liquid line guides the lean liquid from the regeneration tower to the absorption tower.
