I am connecting the STOCO regulator to the superheater of the rankine cycle but somehow it doesnt seem to work. <br>Any suggestions on how
to achieve a 24hour running rankine cycle with solar energy? (I have attached my file just in case anybody wants to checl it out).<br><br>Best regards,<br><br>Dani Pons Strigari<br><font size="3">TU Wien - Institut für Thermodynamik und Energiewandlung </font><br></div></div><br>
