A binary-cycle geothermal plant employs a closed-loop heat exchange system in which the heat of geothermal fluid (primary fluid) is transferred to a lower-boiling heat transfer fluid (secondary fluid) that is thereby vaporized and used to drive a turbine or generator set. In other words, a binary cycle uses a secondary heat transfer fluid instead of steam in the power generation equipment. 4, record 1, English, - binary%20cycle%20geothermal%20power%20plant

Cycle géothermique à cycle binaire. Le fluide géothermal se présente sous forme d'eau chaude pressurisée à une température pouvant aller de 125 à 180 °C. Pour convertir efficacement en électricité la chaleur récupérée à ce niveau de température, il faut que la centrale géothermique soit à cycle binaire, [c'est-à-dire] utilise un second fluide de travail par l'intermédiaire duquel l'énergie est produite. 3, record 1, French, - centrale%20g%C3%A9othermique%20%C3%A0%20cycle%20binaire
