【 摘 要 】

Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) system is a modification of the conventional Rankine cycle to generate electricity from the utilization of low-grade temperature heat sources. Experiment on ORC systems was conducted to analyse the performance of a small scale ORC system with 1 kW capacity using R134a as working fluid. A helical type of evaporator and condenser were used as heat exchangers and a scroll type car compressor was used to generate power with variation in heat source temperatures of 75°C, 85°C, and 95°C. Turbine power is calculated theoretically based on the experimental data obtained due to the turbine was not able to rotate. This experiment results show the optimum efficiency and theoretical power of ORC is respectively 3.33% and 279.58 Watt with inlet pressure and temperature of turbine are respectively 1.25 MPa and 67.7°C.
