The thermo-hydraulic single regime operating generator is an innovative concept developed for the propulsion of road vehicles. The aim of the paper is to calculate the pressure losses in the hydraulic circuit of the single regime running thermo-hydraulic generator. The calculus is based on a modular approach proposed by. The pressure of the hydraulic liquid is determined by taking into consideration the local and the linear pressure losses in the system. These pressure losses are calculated applying classic formulas. This is important because the free piston displacement depends on the pressures acting on the side surfaces. The calculus algorithm is based on the constructive data of an experimental model.
