The Kalina cycle, developed by Dr. Alexander Kalina is a thermodynamic process to convert thermal energy into usable mechanical energy. Use a solution of 2 fluids with different boiling points for your working fluid. Since the solution boils over a range of temperatures as in distillation, more heat can be drawn from the source than with a pure working fluid. The same applies to the exhaust end (condensation). This provides comparable efficiency to a combined cycle, with less complexity.
By appropriate choice of the ratio between the components of the solution, the boiling point of the working solution can be adjusted to suit the heat input temperature. Water and ammonia are the most commonly used combination, but other combinations are feasible.
Due to this ability to make the most of the temperature difference between the available heat source and the sump, it finds applications in the reuse of heat from industrial processes, geothermal energy, solar energy and the use of waste heat from power plants cycle of collapse).
