The high-pressure working medium absorbs heat of a heat source in the heater, the temperature rises, the working medium with the raised temperature enters the turbine to do work, the pressure is reduced to be slightly higher than a critical pressure value, the temperature is reduced to some extent, the expanded carbon dioxide fluid firstly enters the high-temperature heat regenerator to release heat, then enters the low-temperature heat regenerator to release heat, then, one part of the carbon dioxide fluid directly enters the recompressor to be compressed, the other part of the carbon dioxide fluid is cooled by the cooler and then enters the main compressor to be compressed, then, the carbon dioxide fluid is heated by the low-temperature heat regenerator to be mixed with the fluid directly compressed by the compressor, then flows through the high-temperature heat regenerator together, and finally enters the heater to absorb heat to form a closed Brayto. However, in the process of compressing carbon dioxide, the carbon dioxide absorbs heat generated by the compressor during operation, so that the temperature and the pressure are increased to a certain extent, the temperature increase is not beneficial to the pressure increase, the gas with higher temperature is more difficult to compress, and the power consumption of the compressor is increased; in the expansion process of carbon dioxide, the released heat is converted into kinetic energy of a turbine, the temperature and the pressure are reduced to a certain extent, the temperature reduction is not beneficial to the work of an expander, the work output of the turbine is reduced, and therefore the circulating heat efficiency of the whole circulating system is low.
