Scientific novelty

A new model of the organic coolant boiling process in the evaporator of a once-through waste heat boiler is proposed, taking into account the installation of intermediate steam separation with coolant recirculation.

Advantages

Many enterprises have significant potential for low-grade heat with temperatures of 100–200°C. The recovery of this energy is most often limited to its use in heating and hot water supply systems, whose energy needs may be less than the available resource, and the facilities may be located at a significant distance. The solution to the heat recovery problem is the use of a thermal power plant based on the Organic Rankine Cycle, which is a steam power plant that uses an organic coolant instead of water. The plant's steam generator has significant features determined by the type of coolant. Intensive heat exchange is observed only in the initial section of the steam generator tube, the intensity of which then drops to critically low values due to the film boiling regime.

Commercial implementation

Energy, mining and processing industries, energy generation using renewable energy resources.
