Conversion of Low Temperature Waste Heat Utilizing Hermetic Organic Rankine Cycle. (Phase I, Final Report)

摘要

The design of waste heat recovery using the organic Rankine cycle (ORC) engine is updated. Advances in power electronics with lower cost enable the use of a single shaft, high-speed generator eliminating wear items and allowing hermetic sealing of the working fluid. This allows maintenance free operation and a compact configuration that lowers cost, enabling new market opportunities.
