It is a variation of the Rankine cycle named for its use of an organic, high-molecular-mass fluid (compared to water) whose vaporization temperature is lower ...

An Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) system is a closed thermodynamic cycle used for power production from low to medium-high temperature heat sources ranging ...

Turboden's ORC systems take advantage of the organic Rankine cycle to generate electricity and heat from a variety of thermal sources, recovering and ...

The Rankine cycle is an idealized thermodynamic cycle describing the process by which certain heat engines, such as steam turbines or reciprocating steam ...

The Rankine cycle is a thermodynamic cycle widely used by power plants to convert water into steam, then expanding that steam through a turbine to produce ...

ORC - The Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) is an evolving energy system for power production utilizing geothermal resources and recovered waste-heat.

The ORC system being developed can operate at higher temperatures and can thus be the primary recipient of the heat from a reciprocating engine (bottom figure).

Heat exchangers are a critical element in the ORC system and are used in several stages of the cycle. They function as evaporators, condensers, and ...
