Turbine stages can be divided into two types: impulse and reaction stages.The advantages of one type over the second are generally known based on basic physics turbine stage.In this paper these differences between mentioned types turbines were indicated example single stage dedicated to work in organic Rankine cycle (ORC) power systems.The for ORC cases analysed: plant generating up 30 kW 300 net electric power, respectively.Mentioned systems operate with different working fluids: DMC...
The paper illustrates a case study of fluid selection for an internal combustion engine heat recovery organic Rankine cycle (ORC) system having the net power about 30 kW.Various criteria are discussed.Particular attention is paid to thermodynamic performance and human safety.The working ORC has large impact on next steps design process, i.e., substance affects turbine size type exchangers.The final choice usually compromise between performance, safety natural environment.The most important...
Selecting the appropriate bearing system for rotor requires a good knowledge of available solutions and operating conditions machine. For newly designed machinery in adverse conditions, selecting bearings that ensure correct long-lasting operation can be extremely challenging. Difficulties increase when machine's parameters are beyond technical capabilities solutions. This article presents course design process results numerical experimental research prototype microturbine uses an innovative...
The paper presents an analysis of a turbine based micro ORC system for domestic biomass boiler. assumed nominal boiler capacity is in the range between 15 kW and 20 kW. Such small thermal output particularly difficult from point view power generation. One major issues economic aspect system. In general, systems are relatively more expensive. Another problem poor electrical efficiency which results efficiencies individual components such as expansion unit feed pump. Various working fluids...
