Figures on this page are engineering design targets and reference-architecture values, not measured results from operating hardware. They state what the design is being engineered to achieve. Verified performance data will replace them as systems are built and tested. Nothing here should be relied upon as a performance warranty.
Recompression sCO₂ Brayton
Recompression configuration recovers low-grade heat that a simple cycle rejects, which is where most of the efficiency advantage over steam originates.
Diffusion-bonded PCHE
Printed-circuit exchangers handle cycle pressure and temperature at a fraction of shell-and-tube volume, and tolerate faster thermal transients.
Integrally geared
Compact rotating equipment matched to sCO₂ density. Machine protection is local and fast; supervision is at the cycle level.
Dry-cooling option
Air-cooled rejection is specified as an option so siting is not gated on water rights. It costs efficiency on hot days and that penalty is designed in, not discovered.
Hot side interfaces the intermediate exchanger; cold side interfaces heat rejection. Electrical output interfaces generator step-up per the plant electrical specification. Cycle supervision, ramp limiting, and fatigue accounting are performed by the plant intelligence layer rather than by isolated loop controllers.
