Thermodynamic Principle behind the Organic Rankine CycleORC technology is similar to a traditional steam turbine, but with asingle, important difference. Instead of using water vapor, the ORCsystem vaporizes a high-molecular-mass organic fluid, resulting inexcellent electric performance and several key advantages: slowerturbine rotation, lower pressure, and no erosion of metallic partsand blades. The ORC unit is preassembled onto one or more skidsand can be easily transported.
The ORC turbogenerator uses medium-to-high-temperaturethermal oil to preheat and vaporize a suitable organic working fluidin the evaporator (8,3,4). The organic fluid vapor rotates the turbine(4,5), which is directly coupled to the electric generator, resulting inclean, reliable electric power.
The exhaust vapor flows through the regenerator (5-9), where itheats the organic liquid (2,8) and is then condensed in thecondenser and cooled by the cooling circuit (9,6,1). The organicworking fluid is then pumped (1,2) into the regenerator andevaporator, thus completing the closed-cycle operation.

ORC products are configured for either electricity-onlyapplications where heat sources are captured to produceelectric power or combined heat and power (CHP)applications that produce both electricity and hot waterfor use as space or industrial process heating.
“Even with variable flow rates or slightfluctuations in temperature, the ORCcontinues to operate down to 10% ofnominal power. This is a significantadvantage over steam turbines.”

Biomass is an extremely important renewable energy source, available nearly everywhere.It can be stored for a long time and is often economically viable. Biomass is best utilizedin combined heat and power plants, particularly when the power system is built near theheat consumer.
CHP Units for Cogeneration from Biomass
Cogeneration plants with Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) products produce both heat andelectrical power from biomass efficiently and in a user-friendly manner. The generatedpower ranges between 1 MW and 3 MW. ORC split systems allow maximization ofelectric power production for a given biomass consumption due to a more efficientutilization of thermal power from the boiler, while nonsplit systems maximize electricalefficiency. ORC units can be fed by thermal oil, saturated vapor, or superheated water.
HRS Units for Electricity Generation from Biomass
Turboden® has developed new models of HRS ORC units capable of high electricalefficiency. HRS models can operate both in dis si pa tive condition, maximizing theelectrical output, and in cogeneration mode, with the ability to provide heat with watertemperature up to 140° F (60° C) while adjusting for se a so nal thermal load andmaximizing the utilization of the biomass. The ORC units can be fed by thermal oil orsaturated vapor. Sizes range from 1 MW to 7 MW for a single unit.
