The paper presents the results of experimental investigation ORC system with a droplet separator (which was used to improve quality working medium vapour), radial microturbine and multi-fuel boiler. research aimed at verifying correctness prototype performance in installation, equipped heat source form During these tests, detailed assessment functioning boiler has been devoted more attention. contains characteristics exchangers installation that were obtained for variant using regenerative cycle. fired biomass (wood pellets). Two series measurements conducted various flow rates several selected temperatures medium, glycol solution thermal oil. On basis carried out on microturbine, one can say that, physicochemical parameters HFE7100 during first measuring series, as follows: temperature inlet 158.9 °C, pressure 9.66 bar, rate 178.9 g/s discharge 1.75 bar. second gave following results: 163.2 9.86 179.2 1.88 maximum electrical power generated use reached about 1150 W e .
