    Criterion: Cycle of Operation

    Closed cycle gas turbines operate on a closed loop where the working fluid is recirculated, allowing for cleaner operation and the ability to use fluids other than air. They can use any type of fuel or heat source since combustion is external, and have higher efficiency even at partial loads. However, closed cycle plants are more complex and expensive than open cycle plants.

    Comparison Between Closed Cycle Gas Turbine and Open Cycle Gas Turbine can be

    done in 11 different criterias.


    Those 11 criterias are cycle of operation, working fuel used, type of fuel used, manner
    of heat input, quality of heat input, efficiency, part load efficiency, turbine blade life of a
    turbine, control on power production and cost of turbine plant installation.

    Cycle of
    operation

    It works on closed cycle. The working fluid is


    recirculated again and again. It is a clean cycle.

    It works on open cycle. Th

    expansion. It is discharged

    Working fluid

    The gases other than the air like Helium or


    Helium-Carbon dioxide mixture can be used,
    which has more favourable properties.

    Air-fuel mixture is used wh


    thermal efficiency.

    Type of fuel
    used

    Since heat is transferred externally, so any type


    of fuel; solid, liquid or gaseous or combination
    of these can be used for generation of heat.

    Since combustion is an int


    system thus it requires hig
    gaseous fuel for burning in
    chamber.

    Manner of heat
    input

    The heat is transferred indirectly through a heat Direct heat supply. It is gen
    exchanger.
    combustion chamber itself

    Quality of heat
    input

    The heat can be supplied from any source like


    waste heat from some process, nuclear heat
    and solar heat using a concentrator.

    It requires high grade heat


    of power in a gas turbine.

    Efficiency

    High thermal efficiency for given lower and


    upper temperature liquids.

    Low thermal efficiency for


    limits.

    Part load
    efficiency

    Part load efficiency is better.

    Part load efficiency is less

    Blade life

    Since combustion products do not come in
