The organic fluid vapor powers the turbine (4 5), which is directly coupled to the electric generator through an elastic coupling. The exhaust vapor flows ...

In thermal engineering, the organic Rankine cycle (ORC) is a type of thermodynamic cycle. It is a variation of the Rankine cycle named for its use of an ...

The Rankine cycle is a thermodynamic cycle widely used by power plants to convert water into steam, then expanding that steam through a turbine to produce ...

The high temperature vapor goes through the recuperator to be cooled by the liquid exiting the condenser (1 to 2). The wet vapor, then, enters a condenser where ...

Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) is a power generating process which uses refrigerant instead of water/steam. It is running on much lower temperatures than the ...

Learn how Alfa Laval is helping make it possible with unique plate heat exchanger solutions optimized to support the demands of geothermal energy production.

Here, the vapor expands, causing the turbine to spin and creating electricity in the generator. The vaporized organic fluid then continues through the cycle to ...

Waste heat to power (WHP) is the process of capturing heat discarded by existing thermal processes, and using that heat to generate emissions-free power.
