System and methods for cold startup of rankine cycle devices

A Rankine cycle device (100) includes a heat exchanger (102) for supplying heat to a working fluid (106) and an expansion device (110) for expanding the working fluid. A valve (128, 130) is disposed between the heat exchanger and the expansion device and a cooling device (114) reduces a temperature...

Zusammenfassung:A Rankine cycle device (100) includes a heat exchanger (102) for supplying heat to a working fluid (106) and an expansion device (110) for expanding the working fluid. A valve (128, 130) is disposed between the heat exchanger and the expansion device and a cooling device (114) reduces a temperature of the working fluid. A pump (118) moves the working fluid through the Rankine cycle device and a sensor (108) is used to sense a pressure of the working fluid. A controller (130) is operable to open the valve based upon the sensed pressure of the working fluid.
