Popis: The paper proposes a method for calculating the main design parameters and operational characteristics of the HPEC using the Helmholtz equations of state. N-pentane, freon R11, and acetone were considered as the working fluid. The calculations were performed using the CoolProp 6.3.0 library. It was found that the most profitable for HPEC operating on the Rankin cycle with low-potential sources is n-pentane. LD expander operation and mass flow rate of the working fluid are calculated. The calculations were performed using the freely distributed open source library CoolProp 6.3.0. The calculations show that the most profitable WF for HPEC running on the Rankin cycle with low-potential sources is n-pentane. It is determined that the increase in costs when the temperature decreases before the SD is due to a decrease in the level of operation of the Lд expander, which in turn depends on the value of the steam enthalpy at the entrance to the ex-pander.
