It is widely believed that Rankine cycle power plant using organic fluids as the working medium has advantages over conventional Rankine cycle with water steam as the working medium in low-to-medium temperature heat conversion. It is also testified in the market. However, besides the integration of the cycle and the characteristic of the working fluid, the design and debugging of the energy conversion unit are also important part in acquiring good performance. In this research some phenomenon of failure is investigated. Accordingly, the theoretical and practical reasons and solutions are obtained. It provides good guideline on the design and optimization of the energy conversion unit.

This paper should be read in conjunction with the paper The NEREUS installation — the nuclear part (HTR). This part will discuss the non-nuclear part of the nuclear gas turbine installation called the NEREUS installation. It will discuss the non-nuclear part of a modular energy production installation consisting of an inherently safe, helium cooled, graphite moderated nuclear reactor, which acts as heat source to an energy conversion unit consisting of a closed-cycle recuperative gas turbine driving a generator (abbreviated as HTR-GT) (see also ref. 11 and 12). The paper is based upon an ongoing study, supported by specialists and scientists, among others of the Delft University of Technology, of most aspects concerning this type of power producing unit. This paper will discuss its (non-nuclear) components, efficiency, market potential and costing in comparison with existing and comparable installations. So it will report on a pre-feasibility study, based upon existing reports, publications, estimations by specialists and from active projects.
