  • HEAT SOURCE TEMPERATURE REGULATION AND WORKING MEDIUM DETECTION FOR CLOSED-CYCLE POWER CONVERSION EQUIPMENT
    Publication number: 20240052797
    Abstract: A method for operation of a closed-cycle power conversion device includes receiving measured thermal information from one or more sensors that sense thermal characteristics of a hot portion of an absorber heat exchanger of a closed-cycle power conversion device which uses a working medium in its operation. The closed-cycle power conversion device is in thermal connection with a heat source, and absorption of heat from the heat source is proportional to a mass or mass flow rate of the working medium. If the measured thermal information is not in a defined normal range, a message is provided of an abnormality in operation of the closed-cycle power conversion device.
