Abstract

The subject of this article is the use of organic Rankine cycle (ORC) plants to improve the efficiency of vacuum cycles of micro-gas turbine engines (VMGTE). Combined installations VMGTE with ORC of a simple cycle and with heat regeneration have been investigated. The optimal parameters of the plants in the mode of the switching heat flow are found for various working fluids of the ORC. It has been established that the combination of VMGTE with ORC allows to increase the efficiency of plants by 4.2 ... 12.5%, while maintaining cogeneration capabilities. Due to the design features, the combined plant based on a simple cycle can be used for the utilization of secondary energy resources of any potential.
