چکیده
In the present article, a model of scroll expander will be introduced. This model is able to evaluate the performance of a given machine with influence of the geometry. Several losses are also included by the model such as internal leakages, heat transfers or mechanical losses. The forces generated by the gas pressure on the involutes can also be calculated. That expander model is used in order to demonstrate its potential and provide some guidelines to the design of a new expander suitable for the application.

A steam Rankine cycle with two-stage pumping to enhance the waste heat recovery from internal combustion engines
In this research, a high-temperature Rankin cycle (HTRC) with two-stage pumping is presented and investigated. In this cycle, two different pressures and mass flow rates in the HTRC result in two advantages. First, the possibility of direct recovery from the engine block by working fluid of water, which is a low quality waste heat source, is created in a HTRC. Secondly, by doing this, the mean ...
متن کاملPreliminary Design and Simulation of a Turbo Expander for Small Rated Power Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC)
Nowadays, the Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) system, which operates with organic fluids, is one of the leading technologies for “waste energy recovery”. It works as a conventional Rankine Cycle but, as mentioned, instead of steam/water, an organic fluid is used. This change allows it to convert low temperature heat into electric energy where required. Large numbers of studies have been carried out...

This research proposes the combination of a dual-loop non-organic Rankine cycle (DNORC) with an internal combustion engine to increase the output power of the recovery system by focusing on the increase in the energy input and system efficiency. In doing so, it investigates the strategy of increasing the mean effective temperature of heat addition in the high-temperature Rankine cycle (HTRC) (t...

The most common energy application for biogas is on-site power generation using gas engine units. The introduction of a bottoming cycle based on Scroll expander Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) technology within a biogas plant is of high interest since the excess heat produced by biogas engines can be used to produce additional power. This paper describes the retrofit of a plant consisting of a dige...
متن کاملA Numerical Procedure for the Preliminary Design of a ORC Power Plants with Positive Displacement Expanders
Organic Rankine Cycle power plants use organic, high molecular mass fluids to allow heat recovery from lower temperature sources such as industrial waste heat, geothermal heat, solar etc. The expansion process is usually carried out by axial or radial turbines. However, when the available thermal power is less than 1000 kW, the usage of positive-displacement expander becomes more suitable. In t...
