Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) - Low-Temperature Processes
Organic Rankine
Cycle (ORC) -
Low-Temperature Processes
The Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) uses 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. The working principle of the organic Rankine cycle is the same as that of the steam Rankine cycle: the working fluid is pumped to a boiler where it is evaporated, passed through an expansion device (turbine or other expander), and then through a condensing heat exchanger where it is re-condensed to liquid.
The organic Rankine cycle technology has many possible applications, and there is now more than 2.7 GW of installed capacity and over 700 power plants worldwide. Some of the most widespread and promising fields of application for ORC technology include industrial waste heat recovery, geothermal energy, concentrating solar power (CSP) and biomass power plants.
