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

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), ...

Most organic Rankine cycle plants produce net power outputs from 1 kW up to several tens of kW, mainly using microturbines and plate heat exchangers.

This paper presents a thermodynamic analysis and a comparative study of the cycle efficiency for a simplified steam cycle versus an ORC cycle. The most commonly ...
