With hundreds of ORC power systems already in operation and the market growing at a fast pace, this is an active and engaging area of scientific research and technical development.
The Organic Rankine cycle (ORC) is named for its use of an organic, high molecular mass fluid with a liquid-vapor phase change, or boiling point, occurring at a lower temperature than the water-steam phase change.
This book on organic Rankine cycle technology presents nine chapters on research activities covering the wide range of current issues on the organic Rankine cycle. The first section deals with working fluid selection and component design.
Small and micro combined heat and power (CHP) systems are a form of cogeneration technology suitable for domestic and community buildings, commercial establishments and industrial facilities, as well as local heat networks.
The ORC system is driven by methyl cyclohexane as a working medium. The methyl cyclohexane changes its state in the system to become a vapor, which is used to drive a power machine such as a turbine. Methyl cyclo-oxane may also be used.
This book presents peer-reviewed articles from the 6th International Conference on Wireless Technologies, Embedded and Intelligent Systems (WITS 2020), held at Fez, Morocco.
Advanced Power Generation Systems examines the full range of advanced multiple output thermodynamic cycles that can enable more sustainable and efficient power production from traditional methods, as well as driving the significant gains ...
