agree Oliver Walter : I think English speakers who call them closed-loop systems are mistaken: they are control systems, not closed-circuit or recirculation which this text describes.

agree Ken Cox : closed-cycle and closed-circuit are also used in English, but less commonly than closed-loop (and if English speakers 'misuse' their language, they're not alone...)

disagree Oliver Walter : I prefer closed circuit or closed cycle because closed loop suggests *information* feedback as in a control system, not re-use of *matter* (to reduce pollution) as here.

closed system

In the USA, this term is in use. The fact that it 'circulates' is implicit.
