Abstract

The paper analyzes the energy, economic and environmental factors that influence the production of heat and electricity in cogeneration, process which involves the existence of a thermal machine (steam turbine, gas turbine, heat engine) that (co)generates the two directly usable energy flows: thermal and electrical. The thermal car works based on a direct thermodynamic cycle (engine), taking a high-temperature heat flow from the "hot source" and eliminating a lower temperature heat flow to the
"cold source".
