Title:
ORGANIC RANKINE CYCLE WASTE HEAT APPLICATIONS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2004043606
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A machine designed as a centrifugal compressor is applied as an organic rankine cycle turbine by operating the machine in reverse. In order to accommodate the higher pressures when operating as a turbine, a suitable refrigerant is chosen such that the pressures and temperatures are maintained within established limits. Such an adaptation of existing, relatively inexpensive equipment to an application that may be otherwise uneconomical, allows for the convenient and economical use of energy that would be otherwise lost by waste heat to the atmosphere.
