Organic Rankine Cycle<\/span><\/h2>\n

The Rankine cycle is a thermodynamic cycle widely used by power plants to convert water into steam, then expanding that steam through a turbine to produce mechanical work. The Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) is a refinement of this technology, using an organic working fluid in place of water. This working fluid, in our case Pentafluoropropane, has a boiling point less than that of water in order to utilize lower temperature heat sources when compared to larger Rankine cycles.<\/p>\n

ElectraTherm uses an ORC with proprietary technologies to generate up to 125 kW (with a 250 kW unit in development) of clean electricity from heat sources as low as 70\u00b0C. These lower ranges open up opportunities across industries that previously lacked sufficient heat for power generation. Operators take advantage of their excess heat to generate sustainable power – increasing efficiency, reducing energy\/fuel costs, and decreasing their carbon footprint.<\/p>\n
