Gradual Progress in the Organic Rankine Cycle and Solar Thermal Power Generation

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Book cover Structural Optimization and Experimental Investigation of the Organic Rankine Cycle for Solar Thermal Power Generation

Part of the book series: Springer Theses ((Springer Theses))

Abstract

The organic Rankine cycle (ORC) is a technology for low-grade heat to power conversion. The ORC functions in a similar way as the conventional steam Rankine cycle. The principle is simple. The organic fluid is pumped into a heat exchanger where it’s vaporized.
