摘要
To improve the overall thermal efficiency of the organic Rankine cycle (ORC), a simulation study was carried out for a combined heat and power (CHP) system, using the Redlich-Kuang-Soave (RKS) equation of state. In the system, R245fa was selected as the working fluid. A scroll expander was modeled with empirical isentropic expansion efficiency. Plate heat exchangers were selected as the evaporator and the condenser, and detailed heat transfer models were programmed for both one-phase and two-phase regions. Simulations were carried out at seven different heat source temperatures (80, 90, 100, 110, 120, 130, 140℃) in combination with eight different heat sink temperatures (20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55℃). Results show that in the ORC without an internal heat exchanger (IHE), the optimum cycle efficiencies are in the range of 7.0% to 7.3% when the temperature differences between the heat source and heat sink are in the range of 70 to 90℃. Simulations on CHP reveal that domestic hot water can be produced when the heat sink inlet temperature is higher than 40℃, and the corresponding exergy efficiency and overall thermal efficiency are 29% to 56% and 87% to 90% higher than those in the non-CHP ORC, respectively. It is found that the IHE has little effect on the improvement of work output and efficiencies for the CHP ORC. © 2015, Editorial Department of Journal of Southeast University. All right reserved.
