摘要： Cascade thermodynamic energy conversion cycles use multiple power turbines in a working fluid circuit for conversion of waste heat energy, with each turbine inlet temperature optimized to operate in a temperature spectrum to use a greater amount of thermal energy from each cycle. Various accompanying recuperator arrangements are also disclosed, and working fluid mass management systems integrated with the cascade cycles.
