Abstract and Figures. A thermodynamic screening of 31 pure component working fluids for organic Rankine cycles (ORC) is given using BACKONE equation of state.

For heat at lower temperatures, however, organic fluids may be more suitable as working fluids [1]. In this case we speak about Organic Rankine Cycles (ORC).

Organic Rankine Cycles (ORCs) are identified as one of the best candidates to generate electricity from low-grade heat sources.

Jul 23, 2016 · PDF | [en] This paper considers a whole range of ORC applications, in terms of power (from the kW-scale to the multi-MW plants), ...

The analysis is carried out for both recuperated and non-recuperated ORC cycle configurations and includes water-cooled as well as air-cooled condenser options.

PDF | Organic Rankine cycle technology is capable to efficiently convert low-grade heat into useful mechanical power. In the present investigation such.

PDF | The organic Rankine cycle (ORC) is commonly accepted as a viable technology to convert low temperature heat into electricity. Furthermore, ORCs.

\This chapter presents an overview of the current state of the art in the ORC technology and exposes the main target applications. The modelling of such a cycle ...
