Organic rankine cycle for decentralized power generation
Harness waste heat and renewable energy sources to efficiently generate electricity while reducing emissions and energy costs, ensuring a sustainable and profitable power generation process for forward-thinking industrial production facilities.
Generates Electricity from Heat Sources
The Cyplan® ORC Power Generation Module from Dürr leverages Organic Rankine Cycle technology to transform heat from various sources into electricity efficiently. The system integrates seamlessly into existing setups, using a compact, skid-mounted design for rapid installation. Its applications range across sectors like biogas, geothermal, and industrial production, producing end-products such as renewable electricity and cogeneration heat. With electrical outputs starting from 50 kW up to 1000 kW, it addresses diverse energy needs while operating with high electrical efficiency. Fully automated operation, remote monitoring, and variable process interfaces ensure optimized performance and easy integration. It also provides useful heat up to 95°C, enhancing its role in combined heat and power applications, and is constructed for minimal maintenance, with hermetically sealed turbines requiring no additional lubricants.
