Abstract
In this study, energy analysis of a double-stage Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) was performed using the Engineering Equation Solver program (EES). In the first and second stages, eight different organic working fluids (R134a, R410a, RC318, R407c, R22, R23, R116, and R218) were used in pairs for certain temperature limits. Choosing a suitable refrigerant or refrigerant pair is crucial for the ORC’s high thermal efficiency and net work output value. This study aims to determine the effect of working fluid on system efficiency and find out the most suitable working fluid pair. The results showed that the highest net power output and the highest thermal efficiency were obtained from the R23+R23 pair. It was also observed that the lowest net power output from the RC318+RC318 pair and the lowest thermal efficiency was obtained from the R218+R218 pair.
