ORC System
Organic Rankine Cycle Solutions for Power Generation with Turbogenerators
The ORC (Organic Rankine Cycle) system is based on an innovative closed thermodynamic cycle for the flexible and distributed production of electric and thermal power. This ORC technology is particularly suitable for distributed generation close to the point of energy use, utilizing turbogenerators that convert thermal energy into electrical power without the need for water or vapor. Turboden's ORC systems exploit various heat sources to generate electricity and heat, such as renewable energies (like biomass and geothermal energy), traditional fossil fuels, waste heat from industrial processes, waste incinerators, engines or gas turbines. The absence of water and vapor in the ORC process eliminates the need for complex steam turbine systems, making the technology more compact, reliable, and easier to maintain.
Valorizing Thermal Sources with ORC Turbines
The innovative ORC technology allow recovering and converting wasted heat into electrical power using specially designed turbines. These organic Rankine cycle turbogenerators represent a flexible and efficient solution to valorize a wide range of thermal sources, both renewable and non-renewable, optimizing energy processes in a circular economy approach. The ORC turbines operate without the need for water or vapor, relying on organic fluids with favorable thermodynamic properties to drive the power generation process. This unique feature of ORC systems enables the efficient utilization of low-to-medium temperature heat sources that would otherwise remain untapped, contributing to increased energy efficiency and reduced environmental impact.
