As with
steam engines, fridges and gas
turbines, a fundamental principle is in question here: can the efficiency be
increased indefinitely, or is there a physical limit that fundamentally can not be exceeded?
The hellish heat and pressure turn CO2 into a hot, dense liquid, allowing Hofer to shrink the
turbine's size and potentially
increase its efficiency a few percentage points above where state - of - the - art
steam systems operate today.
As the gas
turbine starts and ramps up, it
increases its output at the steepest possible gradient right up to full load, without waiting for staggered startup of the
steam turbine, as is customary.
