RC-1 ORGANIC RANKINE BOTTOMING CYCLE DIESEL ENGINE

Fri, 5 Dec 2008 19:25:20 -0600

Title: RC-1 ORGANIC RANKINE BOTTOMING CYCLE FOR AN ADIABATIC DIESEL ENGINE

Price: $ 150.00

Item Number: 0023

Document Date: 1983 Dec 01

Abstract: A system analysis and preliminary design were conducted for an organic Rankine-cycle system to bottom the high-temperature waste heat of an adiabatic diesel engine. The bottoming cycle is a compact package that includes a cylindrical air-cooled condenser-regenerator module and other unique features. The bottoming cycle output is 56 horsepower at design point conditions when compounding the reference 317 horsepower turbocharged (TC) diesel engine with a resulting brake specific fuel consumption of 0.268 lb/hp-hr for the compound engine. The bottoming cycle when applied to a turbocompound (TCPD) diesel delivers a compound engine brake specific fuel consumption of 0.258 lb/hp-hr. This system for heavy-duty trnsport applications uses the organic working fluid RC-1, which is a mixture of 60 mole percent pentafluorobenzene (PFB) and 40 mole percent hexafluorobenzene (HFB). Included in these 1983 work efforts was the thermal stability testing of the RC-1 organic fluid in a dynamic fluid test loop that simulates the operation of Rankine-cycle. More than 1600 hours of operation were completed with results showing that the RC-1 is thermally stable up to 900/sup 0/F. This report describes the work performed for one of the multiple contracts awarded under the Department of Energy’s Heavy-Duty Transport Technology Program.

Empirical modeling of a Lysholm helical screw expander

Fri, 5 Dec 2008 19:24:31 -0600

Title: Empirical modeling of a Lysholm helical screw expander

Price: $ 250.00

Item Number: 0030

Document Date: 1984 Jan 01

Abstract: Testing of a Lysholm helical screw expander having a rotor diameter of 5.12 inches and an expansion ratio of 5.3 was performed with simulated geothermal fluid at an inlet pressure of 120 psia. The inlet quality, engine speed and pressure ratio were independently varied to produce a three-dimensional data matrix of 104 data points. Statistical curve fitting methods were adapted to produce equations for mass flow rate and power output in terms of the three variables associated with the data matrix. These explicit equations were combined with a steam table subroutine to produce a computer model for prediction of mass flow rate, power, efficiency and exhaust quality at a given set of operating conditions. The predictive ability observed during validation of the model is adequate for use in modeling of hybrid geothermal energy conversion systems. Mass flow rates werre predicted to within 2.7% of the measured values. For most conditions, predictions of power were within 3.3% of the measured values. Predictions of efficiency reflected the combined errors in prediction of power and mass flow rate. Efficiency predictions were in error by as much as 5% of the measured values. The predictions for exhaust quality were within 0.4% of the measured values. Isentropic engine efficiencies of over 43% were measured during the tests. An observed peak in efficiency represented an optimum pressure ratio and a trade-off between lower leakage fractions at high speeds and low inlet qualities, increasing frictional losses at high speeds, and increasing fluid and power densities at low qualities.

Performance characteristics of the Lysholm engine

Fri, 5 Dec 2008 19:23:27 -0600

Title: Performance characteristics of the Lysholm engine

Price: $ 100.00

Item Number: 0019

Document Date: 1980 Jan 01

Abstract: The performance of a 5 in. diameter rotor Lysholm engine prototype running on simulated geothermal flows from 16 to 100% quality is described. Staging was performed with conventional Westinghouse 25 kW steam turbines demonstrating that such a process is feasible. Maximum efficiency and power noted were 37.2% and 26.3 kW respectively, but inhibiting factors were discovered which, upon correction, should allow efficiencies around 50% and powers up to 35 kW. Larger engines with minor modifications should get better efficiencies. Data was taken for inlet pressures of 75 to 120 psia and speeds of 3000 to 9000 rpm's. Further testing under similar conditions is planned.

Lysholm helical screw expander

Fri, 5 Dec 2008 19:17:49 -0600

Title: Altering the volumetric expansion ratio of a Lysholm helical screw expander

Price: $ 100.00

Item Number: 0002

Document Date: 1984 Jan 01

Abstract: This is an analysis of the effects of the volumetric expansion ratio on the operation of a Lysholm helical screw expander. Extensive testing of the University of California Lysholm engine with a 5.3 volumetric expansion ratio was performed. In this experiment, the expansion ratio has been reduced from 5.3 to 4.0. Tests were performed at a variety of speeds and qualities for a 5.0 pressure ratio and at a variety of speeds and pressure ratios for 99 percent quality. It was predicted that decreasing the volumetric expansion ratio would decrease the leakage fraction and thereby increase efficiency. This occurred as predicted. Isentropic efficiency increased 20 percent for 50 percent quality steam and 16 percent for 33 percent quality steam, all for an inlet pressure of 120 psia and a speed of 9000 rpm. A maximum efficiency of 47.2 percent was reached at 33 percent quality, 9000 rpm and a pressure ratio of 5.0. It was noted that the leakage rate did not appear to be a function of expansion ratio, as had been expected. Using this fact the previous empirical models of the engine were extended to include volumetric expansion ratio as a variable parameter.

Title: APPLICATION OF ORGANIC RANKINE CYCLE HEAT RECOVERY SYSTEMS TO DIESEL POWERED MARINE VESSELS

Price: $ 300.00

Item Number: 0012

Document Date: 1977 Jul 15

Abstract: The analysis and results of an investigation of the application of organic Rankine cycle heat recovery systems to diesel-powered marine vessels are described. The program under which this study was conducted was sponsored jointly by the US Energy Research and Development Administration, the US Navy, and the US Maritime Administration. The overall objective of this study was to investigate diesel bottoming energy recovery systems, currently under development by three US concerns, to determine the potential for application to marine diesel propulsion and auxiliary systems. The study primarily focused on identifying the most promising vessel applications (considering vessel type, size, population density, operational duty cycle, etc.) so the relative economic and fuel conservation merits of energy recovery systems could be determined and assessed. Vessels in the current fleet and the projected 1985 fleet rated at 1000 BHP class and above were investigated.

Field tests of a vertical-fluted-tube condenser

Fri, 5 Dec 2008 19:02:47 -0600

Title: Field tests of a vertical-fluted-tube condenser in the prototype power plant at the Raft River Geothermal Test Site

Price: $ 100.00

Item Number: 0017

Document Date: 1983 Apr 01

Abstract: A vertical-fluted-tube condenser was designed, fabricated, and tested with isobutane as the shell-side working fluid in a binary prototype power plant at the Raft River Geothermal Test Site. After shakedown and contamination removal operations were completed, the four-pass water-cooled unit (with 102 outside-fluted Admiralty tubes) achieved performance predictions while operating with the plant surface evaporator on-line. A sample comparison shows that use of this enhanced condenser concept offers the potential for a reduction of about 65% from the size suggested by corresponding designs using conventional horizontal-smooth-tube concepts. Subsequent substitution of a direct-contact evaporator for the surface evaporator brought drastic reductions in system performance, the apparent consequence of high concentrations of noncondensible gases introduced by the brine/working-fluid interaction.

SUNDSTRAND WASTE HEAT RECOVERY SYSTEM

Fri, 5 Dec 2008 19:00:08 -0600

Title: SUNDSTRAND WASTE HEAT RECOVERY SYSTEM

Price: $ 150.00

Item Number: 0014

Document Date: 1984 Mar 01

Abstract: The two programs discussed in this report deal with the use of organic Rankine cycle systems as a means of producing electrical or mechanical power from energy in industrial processes' exhaust. Both programs deal with the design, development, demonstration, and economic evaluation of a 600kWe organic Rankine cycle system designed to recover energy from the exhaust of industrial processes with exhaust gas temperatures of 600/sup 0/F or above. The work done has, through the successful operation of the units installed, demonstrated the technical feasibility of utilizing an organic Rankine cycle bottoming system as a means of conserving energy through waste heat utilization. Continued operation at several sites has also demonstrated the soundness of the design, overall system reliability, and low operating cost. In addition, the basis under which this technology is economically viable in industrial applications was established. As a result of market studies and experience gained from the application of the units addressed in this report, it is concluded that there is a significant market for the equipment at the installed cost level of $1200/kWe to $1500/kWe and that this goal is achievable in the proper manufacturing environment. 54 figs., 2 tabs.

PERFORMANCE OF A SOLAR AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM

Fri, 5 Dec 2008 09:41:46 -0600

Title: PERFORMANCE OF A SOLAR AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM UTILIZING BOILING COLLECTORS

Price: $ 50.00

Item Number: 0001

Document Date: APR 1983

Abstract: A boiling-collector system provides a high-temperature organic vapor directly to the expander of a Rankine engine, which may drive an air conditioning compressor or an electrical generator. This system eliminates several pumps, a heat exchanger, and a hot-storage tank from the conventional solar air conditioning system, thereby reducing heat losses and parasitic power requirements. This system was modeled on a computer and the performance compared with the performance of the conventional system. The calculations were done hourly for commercial buildings in Phoenix, Fort Worth, and Miami. The boiling system outperforms the conventional solar system by 28% or more depending on collector type and location.
