Waste Heat Generator (WHG)
• Converts waste heat into electricity– Capable of using ‘low grade’ waste heat
•Waste Heat Generator (WHG)
2
Turbines
• Devices that converts fluidflow into work– Gas turbine
• Working fluid is combustionproducts and air
– Water turbine (hydro)• Working fluid is water
– Steam turbine• Rankine Cycle – water is boiled
to vapor before passing throughturbine
– Working fluid is water vapor(steam)
3
Rankine Cycle• Thermodynamic cycle which converts
heat into work– Working fluid is often steam
• Requires high temperatures to vaporize water• 80% of all power in the world is produced with this
technology
•Water
•CONDENSER
• Low Temperatureheat sources producelittle useable steam
• Inherit problem ishigh latent heat ofwater in liquid-vaporphase change

Organic Rankine Cycle• For many (low temperature) waste heat applications, we
need a fluid that boils at a lower temperature than water– Historically, such fluids have been hydrocarbons - hence
the name Organic– Modern Working Fluids include: Propane / Pentane /
Toluene / HFC-R245fa• These Working Fluids allow use of Lower-Temperature
Heat Sources because the liquid-vapor phase change, orboiling point, occurs at a lower temperature than the water-steam phase change

Waste Heat Sources
• Waste heat is any source of otherwise unusedheat – that is why ‘fuel’ is free– Waste heat from MicroTurbine exhaust– Waste heat from industrial processes
• Process stacks from drying or heating processes– Heat from waste fuel
• Biomass or Biogas is burns to produce heat directly– Not waste heat
• A boiler creates heat for vaporization in a closed loopsystem – not free fuel

The working fluid (now a vapor) enters the turbine of the IPM. The working fluid’s pressure dropsacross the turbine to the condensing pressure, spinning the turbine (which is connected to the
generator) in the process. The driving force is the pressure difference across the turbine.

The working fluid still has an enormous amount of heat, some of which is transferred to thepumped liquid in the economizer. This helps in two ways: 1) this heat would have otherwise
been extracted in the condenser and; 2) there is less heat required at the evaporator due to theliquid being pre-warmed.

Power Skid Specs
• Turbine Expander and Generator– Hermetically sealed power module – no leaks– Magnetic Bearings – no lubricants– 26,500 rpm – no vibration
• Power electronics – 125 kW– Grid Connect only– 380-480V, 3 phase, 3 wire 50/60 Hz
• Working fluid HFC-R245fa• Dry weight 7,000 lbs• 46” w x 112” l x 79.5” h
20
Evaporator• Transfers waste heat energy to refrigerant,
resulting in vaporization– Direct, heat transfers directly from the waste heat source
to the working fluid• Likely choice for a Microturbine application where waste
temperatures are low and exhaust stream is clean• Heat source needs to be near ORC
– Indirect, thermal transfer medium is used between theheat source and the working fluid (e.g. thermal oil, hotwater, steam)
• Requires more ancillary equipment• Less efficient overall• Good fit if heat source is far from ORC
21
Condenser• Rejects latent heat of working fluid, resulting in
condensation– Direct – The working fluid passes through a heat
exchanger that rejects heat directly to the environment.– Indirect – A medium such as water is passed through a
heat exchanger and takes the rejected heat out of theworking fluid. The medium then transfers the heatsomewhere else.
– Cooling towers, air cooled condenser (Dry Cooler),ground water, evaporative condenser
• Cooling towers (if already existing) and direct evaporativecondensers are likely the best match for MicroTurbineapplications
22
Installation Considerations• Evaporator & Condenser must be within 50ft of the
ORC power skid– Minimize refrigerant run length
• Minimize heat loss / absorption• Minimize amount of R245fa used
• Condenser must be elevated (flow to receiver)• Qualified technician required to handle R245fa• Internal cleanliness (of R245fa loop) important

Heating, Cooling, Power
• Cycle effectiveness is determined by theheat source and condensing source– Determine total heat and temperature available– Determine total cooling available
• Power available is determined by multiplyingthe heat available by the cycle effectiveness– More heat available => less cooling required– Less heat available => more cooling required
25
Available Power Output• More heat is
required for agiven powerproduction ascondensingtemp increases.
• Size heatsource andcondenser forambientconditions.
26
ORC with MicroTurbines• Typical MicroTurbine implementation
– 6 to 8 Capstone C65 MicroTurbines– One ORC WHG Power Skid– One direct MT exhaust to refrigerant heat
exchanger– One direct evaporative cooling tower or
piggyback on existing cooling tower.
27
Free Electricity?
• Or, how to build a ORC WHG valueproposition– System uses low grade heat that is usually
wasted – no other good use– Increase overall efficiency of systems– Consumes no additional fuel– Produces no additional emissions– Wasted energy into electric power may
• Reduce demand charges• Capture carbon credits• Qualify for renewable energy incentives
28
Calculating New Efficiency
• Using waste heat to generate electric powerincreases overall system efficiency– Low grade waste heat is used, so assume it can
not be used for any other purpose– Example, 6 Capstone C65s
• Produce 390kW at 29% Electric Eff• A 125kW ORC WHG is added• 515kW is produced, using no added fuel• new efficiency is
– (New power/old power)*old Efficiency = 38%
• The ORC increases electric efficiency to over 38%
