A recompression cycle is a more complex arrangement of the regenerative Brayton cycle. It is further supplemented with a re-compressor and the recuperative heat exchanger is divided into low-temperature and high-temperature units. The recompression cycle takes advantage of the division of the CO2 stream on the low-pressure side, which results in different mass flows on the high-pressure sides of the recuperative heat exchanger units. This results in a higher degree of heat recovery and a lower amount of rejected heat, which has a positive effect on the overall efficiency.
