Abstract

This paper presents both a numerical model of an Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) and an experimental study carried out on a prototype working with refrigerant HCFC-123, and whose heat sources consist in two hot air flows. The ORC model is built by interconnecting different sub-models: the heat exchanger models, a volumetric pump model and a scroll expander model. Measured performance of the ORC prototype is presented and used to validate the ORC model. This model is finally used to investigate potential improvements of the prototype.
