In order to improve the thermal efficiency of the steam Rankine cycle system, the most direct way is to improve the highest temperature of the cycle system or reduce the lowest pressure in the cycle system, wherein the highest temperature in the cycle system is limited by the temperature of a heat source and the temperature resistance level of a material, and the improvement is difficult. In the circulating system, the lowest pressure is located in the condenser, and the medium discharged into the condenser by the steam turbine is saturated steam, so that the lowest pressure is associated with the lowest temperature, the medium pressure is reduced, the temperature is reduced, and the reduction of the medium temperature is limited by the temperature of an ambient cold source. Based on the above, the embodiment of the invention provides that the temperature difference between the minimum temperature of the circulation system and the ambient temperature is utilized to generate electricity under the condition that the maximum temperature and the minimum pressure of the circulation system are unchanged, so that the thermal efficiency of the circulation system is improved.

The steam generator 110 heats water to become high-temperature and high-pressure steam, and inputs it to the steam turbine 120. The high temperature and high pressure steam enters the turbine 120 to do work through expansion and drive the turbine 120 to rotate, thereby generating instrument energy and driving a generator or other mechanical devices connected to the shaft of the turbine 120. The pressure and temperature of the steam gradually decrease as it passes through the steam turbine 120. The low pressure steam discharged from the steam turbine 120 enters the condenser 130 and is cooled by cooling water or air to form condensed water.
