Organic Rankine cycle

Journal Article · · Public Power; (United States)
OSTI ID:6203521

Organic Rankine cycle systems are currently being developed for waste heat recovery systems from thermal power plants and industrial plants. DOE is supporting the development of three unique concepts of packaged Rankine cycle systems using different working fluids ranging from steam to Freon. The systems will recover the waste heat from the prime mover exhaust streams and convert it to additional useful shaft power at efficiency levels of 18 to 20%.
