Abstract

This book contains papers that consider various options for improving the utilization of primary energy. The papers focus on improving the classical steam cycle by a bottoming-cycle that uses a working fluid different from steam. Also discussed are methods of improving waste heat utilization, especially by employing low temperature power cycles to generate shaft power or electricity by using heat pumps to boost waste heat temperature.

Power engineering and technology: Energy-efficient use of working fluids, alternative processes, heat pumps, and organic rankine cycle

Book Baehr, H; Buch, A; Kling, R

This book presents contributions to problems in establishing efficient use of energy in power engineering. The book attempts to define and organize a new engineering area based on international cooperation of scientists in power engineering, thermodynamics, heat transfer, fluid dynamics, etc.
New working fluids for gas-fired Rankine cycle heat pumps

Book Mastroianni, M

A detailed study was made to determine an optimum set of key physical properties for a dual loop Rankine cycle heat pump working fluids. Five properties were defined and using a computer program, an optimum (ideal) property profile was developed. These profiles were defined for both the power and vapor compression loop in an attempt to compare the property profiles of known and possible new fluids to the optimum profies obtained. Five single fluids and six possible dual fluid systems (separate and different power and vapor compression fluids) were singled out as a good match which did not have impossiblemore »« less
Determination of thermal-degradation rates of some candidate Rankine-cycle organic working fluids for conversion of industrial waste heat into power

Conference Jain, M; Demirgian, J; Krazinski, J; ...

Serious concerns over the long-term thermal stability of organic working fluids and its effect on system performance, reliability, and overall economics have impeded widespread development and deployment of organic Rankine-cycle power systems (ORCPSs) for conversion of industrial waste heat into power. Prototype systems built using thermal-stability information derived from static capsule tests have often operated less than satisfactorily. This investigation is an attempt by the US Department of Energy (DOE) to alleviate these fears, dissipate the remaining road blocks, and accelerate the further development and deployment of this vital industrial energy-conservation technology. This paper presents some interim results of anmore »« less
Diesel organic Rankine bottoming cycle powerplant program. Final report. [Using Fluorinol-85 as working fluid]

Technical Report

This program calls for the building, testing, and installation of a complete Organic Rankine-cycle system (ORCS) which uses Fluorinol-85 as the working fluid to recover the waste heat from an exhaust gas stream. The system was originally designed for use with a diesel electric powerplant. These engines are utilized for peaking power application in which the usage factor is approximately 10%. The major task within the program is the fabrication or specification and purchase of all of the components included in the Power Conversion Module (PCM). These components include the turbine, high-speed gearbox, electric generator, condenser, regenerator feedpump, interconnecting pipingmore »« less
Bottoming cycle can pay for itself in two years. [Sundstrand 600-kW organic fluid Rankine-cycle package]

Journal Article

A new 600-kW Rankine cycle engine with a Sunstrand bottoming cycle that can convert nearly a quarter of the waste heat into electricity is now on the market for about $400,000, has a two-year payback period, and appears to be more practical than most energy-conservation proposals. Three factory-assembled, easily installed units include a heat-recovery unit, power-conversion module, and a control-panel module. The bottoming cycle uses an organic fluid, toluene, instead of steam so that smaller boilers and turbines and a lower temperature can be used. The system can adjust to varying temperatures and heat supplies. Sunstrand has found that, becausemore »« less
