Organic Rankine Cycle By John Yee
Introduction • Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) • Same working principle as Rankine cycle • Organic – pentane, propane, ammonia, and coolants • Uses for ORC • Low-grade heat waste recovery
Introduction • Energy generation is conventionally done using Rankine cycle with steam • Water needs to be superheated to ~600C to prevent condensation during expansion. • Organic fluids • Evaporation at lower temperatures and pressures • Lower temperature of waste heat can be used
Introduction • Energy generation from temperatures as low as 80C to 100C is possible • Carnot efficiency:
Biomass Cogeneration Plant - Analysis • Utilizes wastes (wood shavings, barks, sawing, chips) of a big sawmill • Thermal and electrical energy • Thermal heat and hot water • Nearby schools and hospital
Biomass Cogeneration Plant - Analysis • Case 1: Max energy production ~5MW • Electrical efficiency: 15.5% • Net electrical + useful thermal: 33% • Case 2: Max thermal load • Electrical efficiency: 9.5% • Net electrical + useful thermal: 71.8% • Similar systems have appeared in the lumber industry
Trigeneration system with ORC • Trigeneration – combined cooling, heating, and energy generation • Heating: Condenser Q,out • Cooling: Single-effect absorption chiller • mixture of lithium-bromide (Li-Br) and water.
Trigeneration system with ORC • ORC working fluid • Octane(C8H18): Boiling point 125C • Overall efficiency: ~76% • Electrical efficiency: 15% • Ratio Electrical:Cooling: ~4 • Ratio Electrical:Heating: ~0.2
Low Temperature Geothermal • Geothermal heat sources vary in temperatures from 50 to 350C. • High-temp >220C are most suitable for commerical production of electricity with dry steam and flash steam systems. • <220C is most commonly available.
Internal Combustion Engine with ORC • Commercial cogeneration using natural gas
Internal Combustion Engine with ORC • Few common working fluids with different characteristics modeled
Internal Combustion Engine with ORC • Overall efficiency increase of ~5% • 41.8% -> 47.1%
Low Temperature Solar with ORC Analysis • Low temperature thermal electric generation • Non-tracking concentrated solar collectors • 180-200C • Working fluid: HCFC-123 • Short half life
Low Temperature Solar with ORC Analysis • Irradiation: 750 W/m2
