Heat-to-power (ORC)
The Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) principle is used in heat-to-power solutions. Free heat is available, for example, from a compressor cooling, from exhaust gases and engine jacket cooling of gen sets, from biomass boilers, geothermal sources, or different industrial processes. ORC modules allow to increase electric power output in the range from 6 to 12%. There are water- and thermal oil-systems.
Generate electricity from recovered heat with ORC
Organic Rankine Cycle modules convert available heat into electricity. Heat sources include compressor cooling, engine cooling and exhaust gases, biomass boilers, geothermal sources and industrial processes. Water and thermal-oil systems are available. ORC modules can increase electrical output by 6–12%.
