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.

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.
1 day 4 hrs
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...)

closed system


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