The energy efficiency in the industry sector is a strong and leading factor for the competitiveness on the domestic and foreign markets. In this paper are analysed the possibilities for improving energy efficiency in the industry sector by utilising low temperature waste heat recovery (LTWHR). As a waste heat it is considered the energy that is gen...

... equipment used in this cycle consists of four main components as shown in Fig. 1: the heat exchanger/evaporator, expander with generator, condenser, hydraulic pump together with other accompanying components, meant for stable operation of the system. Another process working with organic fluids is Kalina cycle, presented in Fig. 1. The main difference with the Organic Rankine Cycle is that the working fluid is mixture of two fluids with different boiling points, meaning that the mixture evaporates over a range of temperatures and more of the heat can be extracted. In the Kalina cycle ammonia-water mixture is used as a working fluid. Observing the performances of ...

Nowadays, Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) is one of the most promising technologies analyzed for electrical power generation from low-temperature heat such as renewable energy sources (RES), especially solar energy. Because of the solar source variation throughout the day, additional Thermal Energy Storage (TES) systems can be employed to store the ene...

Organic Rankine cycle (ORC) systems are a readily available technology to convert thermal energy from renewable- and waste heat sources into electricity. However, their thermal performance is relatively low due to the low temperature of the available heat sources, but more importantly, due to the low efficiency of the employed expander. Designing t...

The number of geothermal plants using deep hydrothermal energy from the South German Molasse Basin has rapidly grown in the last ten years. At the end of 2018, 26 geothermal plants were in operation; five of these are geothermal plants with heat and power production. To forward the thermal brine from the underground, all 26 geothermal plants are us...

Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) is known as one of the best method amongst the other low-grade energy recovery methods. ORC can be applied for different applications such as geothermal, solar thermal and waste heat. However, the application of ORC in these applications requires the selection of suitable working fluid for better performance. So, this pa...
