Behaviour of ORC low-temperature power generation with different refrigerants

Abstract:

This article presents and discusses the behaviour of low-temperature Organic Rankine Cycle for power generation using waste heat. The performance has been compared at low- and medium waste heat temperatures to organic and non-organic fluids. In this article, energy and exergy analysis have also been presented and compared for the behaviour of the different refrigerants. Results showed that the use of refrigerant mixtures maximises the waste heat recovery and produces power from low- and medium waste heat with less exergy destruction compared to other working fluids. © 2011 Taylor & Francis.
