Abstract

AbstractIn order to ameliorate the ORC performances, the Regenerative Organic Rankine Cycle (RORC) is presented. This study presents a comparison of an ORC with an open feedwater heater (ORC-OFWH) an ORC with a closed feedwater heater (ORC-CFWH) and double stage regenerative ORC (DSR-ORC) using both OFWH and CFWH. The thermodynamic performances of each system are investigated adopting R123 as working fluid. Summing up the results, it can be concluded that the double stage regenerative ORC shows greater performances in term of thermal efficiency and exergy efficiency with 14% and 17% respectively higher over the ORC-OFWH and ORC-CFWH.KeywordsRegenerative Organic Rankine CycleEnergyExergyOpen/closed feedwater heaterDouble stage regenerative ORC
