Oct 23, 2021 · For example, in a power station the boiler is the hot junction and the cooling towers are the cold junction. Secondly the hot junction must be at significantly higher pressure than the cold junction. The working fluid heated at the hot junction expands as it moves from the hot to cold junction doing mechanical work in the process.

They can generate power at efficiency of less than 10,000 b.t.u. per kilowatt and cost-wise that is very low.
