How to effectively utilize low and medium temperature energy is one of the solutions to
alleviate the energy shortage and environmental pollution problems. In the past twenty …

This paper presents an overview of the technical and economic aspects, as well as the
market evolution of the Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC). This is an unconventional but very …

Escalating fuel prices and imposition of carbon dioxide emission limits are creating renewed
interest in methods to increase the thermal efficiency of marine diesel engines. One viable …

A method was proposed to couple the heat source with ORCs (Organic Rankine Cycles).
The integrated-average temperature difference, ΔT ave, quantifies the thermal match in the …

The ORC (organic Rankine cycle) is an established technology for converting low
temperature heat to electricity. Knowing that most of the commercially available ORCs are of …

The paper tries to review the argument of the use of working fluids for binary cycle power
plants and has been dedicated to this specific argument with a more general perspective …

The continual increases in energy demand and greenhouse gas emissions, call for efficient
use of energy resources. Decentralized combined heat and power (CHP) technology …

Waste heat recovery from the exhaust gases of gas turbines, geothermal resources, and
from industrial plants offers a great opportunity for rational energy usage by productively …

Abstract ORCs (Organic Rankine Cycles) represent an effective option to exploit low grade
heat fluxes, the characteristics of which not only affect design, but also performance and …

This paper presents a study of a combined PV (photovoltaic) and thermal system that utilizes
waste heat at a high temperature to drive an ORC (organic Rankine cycle). Several …
