Heat recovery by organic Rankine cycle in ceramics firing ovens. Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6339752
; ; ; ;

The process of ceramics firing, like many other high temperature processes, is inefficient but it is possible to recover an important fraction of the heat input. A recovery system is proposed which transforms the recovered heat into electricity by means of an organic Rankine cycle engine. A thermodynamic study has led to the selection of tetrachloroethylene as the working fluid, with a rated power output of 40 kW at the turbine shaft and an evaporation temperature of the working fluid of 110C.
