Zusammenfassung:A system for generating energy in a working fluid from hydrogen and oxygen, comprises a burner (12) for combustion of hydrogen and oxygen into steam provided with a feed (14) for oxygen and a feed (16) for hydrogen, a boiler (22) operably connected to the burner for heating the working fluid having a feed (24) for introducing the working fluid and a discharge (26) for discharging heated working fluid and a heat exchanging surface (25) for heat exchange between the steam and the working fluid, a condenser (30) for condensing steam operably connected to the boiler downstream thereof, wherein a recirculation loop (32; 55; 57) is provided for recirculation of reaction products of the combustion of hydrogen and oxygen downstream of the condenser to the burner, and a recovery loop (38) for recycling oxygen separated in the separator from the separator to the feed of oxygen of the burner.
