Abstract
In a method for operating a power plant by means of a COprocess, isentropic compression first takes place, subsequently an isobaric heat supply, then isentropic expansion, and finally isobaric heat discharge. The COprocess broken down here takes place with internal combustion, a fuel () and the oxygen () necessary for oxidization being supplied. After the charging of the COcircuit () has been carried out, the excess COformed from combustion is discharged continuously, in that this gas is led through a cooler (), in which said gas is condensed. In order to dispose of this condensed CO(), there are available here, for example, the possibilities of storing this COon the ocean floor or of introducing the condensed COinto a worked-out deposit of natural gas.
