This work is a historical review of Kalina System Cycle (KSC) development during last decades. This review shows that a family of KCS was developed for the conversion of low grade energy into useful power or for cooling and heating purposes, which is otherwise rejected to the environment. These low grade energy sources include solar energy, geothermal energy, waste heat energy. etc. The successful operation of KCS requires special type of working fluid. This working fluid is a solution of two liquids, one is refrigerant with low boiling temperature while the other is absorbent with high boiling temperature. The important characteristics of working fluid include constancy, green impact, security, compatibility, toxicity, low cost and latent heat. This review shows that there is a good potential of using KCS to generate useful power when using the right workin fluid.
