A fin-and-tube evaporator can be used for an ORC (organic Rankine cycle) to collect waste heat of the exhaust gas of an internal combustion engine. In this paper, the thermal-hydraulic characteristics of an ORC evaporator are analyzed using a CFD method. A 3D numerical model is derived from an...

Aiming at the recovery of exhaust energy for a diesel engine, a set of ORC (organic Rankine cycle) system is designed. The characteristics of the exhaust gas under various operating conditions are studied through experiment. Based on experimental results and theoretical calculation, effects of...

A single-screw expander with 155 mm diameter screw has been developed. A spiral-tube type evaporator and an aluminum multi-channel parallel type condenser have also been developed with weight of 147 kg and 78 kg, respectively. Based on the development of above components, an ORC (organic...
