Because so much energy is lost turning steam back into water in the Rankine cycle, at most a third of the power in the steam can be converted into electricity. For this test, the engineers heated up the CO 2 using an electrical heater, fairly similar to a home water heater. The recuperator improves the overall efficiency of the system.
