Cooling with the sun's heat Design considerations and test data for a Rankine Cycle prototype

Fluid selection for a low-temperature solar organic Rankine cycle

“…Fenton et al [6] reported an irrigation system based on an ORC conversion module using R113 as working fluid. Prigmore and Barber [7] and Kaushik et al [8] investigated cooling systems coupled with Rankine engines. ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT [15] and Liu et al [16] studied and analyzed the performance of ORCs for waste heat recovery.…”

Exergy analysis of micro-organic Rankine power cycles for a small scale solar driven reverse osmosis desalination system

“…In view of harnessing the available solar radiation, solar thermal water pumping systems for freshwater and irrigation based on Rankine engine have been constructed and tested in different parts of the world including Africa and Asia [10]. The matching between the cooling demand and high solar radiation during the summer period, and the oil crisis of 1970s pushed towards investigations of solar cooling systems among which the so-called Duplex-Rankine driven cooling systems [11][12][13].…”

Corn Cob Biomass Waste Burning Power Station with Organic Rankine Cycle

“…The temperature of heating fluid (110, 120, and 130 ) and the flow rate of heating fluid (100, 150, 200 kg/minute) are the independent variable in this investigation. The design is calculated from the step of ORC process that is described in temperature-entropy diagram at Figure. 1 and in corn cob burning ORC system design scheme at Figure. In Figure.1, the ORC system includes 4 processes: compression (1-2), vaporization (2-3), expansion (3)(4), and condensation (4-1). The ideal (reversible) and the real (irreversible) Rankine cycle are described in 1-2s-3-4s-1 and 1-2-3-4-1, respectively.…”

“…In Refs. [3,4], cooling systems coupled with Rankine engines has been investigated. Recently, the performance of ORCs for waste heat recovery has been studied and analyzed [5][6][7].…”
