ORC systems
The Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) is a method that allows steam turbines to operate with other operating media than steam. Steam is replaced by organic liquids with low evaporation temperatures. This method is particularly appropriate when the temperature drop between the heat source and the heat sink is not sufficient to operate a steam-powered turbine. The recovery of waste heat potentials by means of an ORC system considerably increases the degree of utilization of primary materials in a sustainable, efficient and environmentally safe manner. This innovative technology allows waste heat to be used, regardless of how it is generated. In all processes in which sufficient heat is emitted at the required temperature level, this technology offers the chance of remarkably increasing efficiency.
Your benefits using an ORC system
- Power generation without having to feed in additional materials or fuels
- Low costs for operation, maintenance and repair
- Reliable heat recovery throughout all seasons
- Distinct increase of the total efficiency of your system
- Optimized system design for a maximum net return
- Residual heat recovery without any contractual obligation to a third party
- Steady and calculable revenues due to high availability and reliable operation
- EU-compliant use of heat energy
- The generated electrical power can be fed into the public grid or used internally at the place of generation if required
