Organic rankine cycle for decentralized power generation
In industries where heat is a byproduct of processes, there’s an increasing need to convert this heat into usable electricity. Waste heat from geothermal systems, biomass, and other sources often remains unutilized, losing potential energy savings.
Generate electricity from low-temperature heat sources
The Cyplan® ORC by Dürr is an efficient solution for converting decentralized heat sources into electricity. It operates using the Organic Rankine Cycle, where heat from various media such as hot water, steam, thermal oil, and hot gas is converted into pressurized vapor to drive a turbo generator. This system is suitable for heat sources above 90°C and offers a power output range from 50 kW to 1000 kW. It features modular, skid-mounted designs for easy transport and installation. The system’s compact design and remote monitoring capabilities ensure low maintenance and high reliability. Optional condensation heat utilization allows for additional heat recovery up to 95°C, enhancing overall efficiency. This solution is ideal for combined heat and power (CHP) applications, increasing the profitability of power generation processes.
Benefits
