Exergy - Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) System
When the enthalpy level of your heat source is not enough or the size of the application is too small for a steam power plant, the organic Rankine cycle is the best solution for you. The organic Rankine cycle has a plant configuration similar to that of the traditional steam Rankine cycle. The thermodynamic principle at its basis is the same, but its advantages are based on the differing thermodynamic properties of the single organic fluid, that can be chosen to fit best the available heat source, thus obtaining higher efficiencies.

Features and Competitive Advantages
Compared to the traditional Rankine cycle, the ORC has some relevant competitive advantages:
- High thermodynamic efficiency of the cycle;
- Low rotation and tip speed, together with the absence of liquid phase during expansion, leading to a reliable and long lasting machine;
- Good off-design behavior throughout an extended range;
- Compact and automatic machines (no need for operators);
- Ideal for cycling environments and where fast start stops are required.
These general features result in higher efficiency and more flexible operation. Case by case design and fluid choice are required in order to maximize the advantages.
Technologies
Best available technologies are applied by Exergy to every single part of the cycle, in order to optimize its performance:
- Fluid choice, depending on the efficiency, environmental and thermodynamic issues involved
- Cycle optimization, varying the temperature and pressure level
- Expander design, with the innovative radial outflow turbine
