R&D PROJECTS

ORC- MICRO POWER PLANT

Acronym: ORC- micro power  plant

Time Period: From 2011 to 2013

Partners:

 

Total Budget:  €324 400

Financing:  National Funded, Bayerische Forschungsstiftung (BFS)

Short description:

Several studies verify a high potential for waste heat recovery by decentralized power systems. In this context the project partners develop an ORC-module with an electric capacity below 50 kW. Therefore an innovative micro-turbine and direct evaporation of the working fluid are realized. Fluid selection and component design are followed by the construction of a demonstration rig with an electric capacity of 20 kW.
