Selection of Working Fluids for Low-Temperature Power Generation Organic Rankine Cycles System

Article Preview

Abstract:

A Rankine cycle using organic fluids as working fluids, called organic Rankine cycle (ORC), is potentially feasible in recovering low enthalpy containing heat sources. The choices of fluids should meet the requirement of environment, safety, critical pressure and critical temperature etc. Under the proposed working conditions, R600a, R245fa, R236fa, R236ea, R227ea are chosen as the working fluids of the low-temperature Rankine cycle system, then those fluids are investigated and compared from cycle efficiency, work ratio, exergy efficiency, irreversible loss. The results show that R245fa is an available and effective working fluid for low-temperature Rankine cycle.
