BINARY VAPOUR CYCLE

In this cycle two working fluids are used. Figure below shows Elements of Binary vapour power plant. The mercury boiler heats the mercury into mercury vapours in a dry and saturated state.

These mercury vapours expand in the mercury turbine and then flow through heat exchanger where they transfer the heat to the feed water, convert it into steam. The steam is passed through the steam super heater where the steam is super-heated by the hot flue gases. The steam then expands in the steam turbine.
