A process and an apparatus for converting thermal energy into mechanical energy in a Rankine cycle is provided. The process and apparatus include a working fluid that comprises a fluorinated oxirane. The fluorinated oxirane can contain substantially no hydrogen atoms bonded to carbon atoms and can have from about 4 to about 9 carbon atoms. The process can drive a turbine and, in some embodiments, generate electricity.
提供了一种在兰金循环中将热能转化为机械能的过程和装置。该过程和装置包括一种工作流体,其中包括一种含有氟的环氧乙烷。该含氟环氧乙烷可以几乎不包含与碳原子键合的氢原子,并且碳原子数量在约4到约9之间。该过程可以驱动涡轮,并在一些实施例中产生电力。
