Bahram Saadatfar, Reza Fakhrai and Torsten Fransson, JMES Vol 2 Issue 1 2014 A few authors have examined mixtures of natural hydrocarbons and fluorinated hydrocarbons as a working fluid in ORC. Demuth [58] studied geothermal power plant with two-component mixtures of natural hydrocarbons for working at 137 °C and 182 °C geothermal water source. It is reported that subcritical cycle efficiency increases up to 14% in comparison with pure fluid propane. For a low temperature solar, Wang and Zhao [59] studied turbine design with three mass fractions of R245fa/R152a at fixed evaporation and condensation temperature. Comparing to pure R245fa the mixtures showed a lower volume flow rate at the inlet of the expander; in addition, a lower volume flow ratio for the expansion can be seen. These mean a reduction of turbine dimensions and costs [60]. Chys et al. [61] examined the effect of using mixtures as working fluids in ORC with a simulation model of the cycle including all elements of an actual installation. In the next sections, a brief review of three other zeotropic vapor cycles is described. 2.3.1 The Kalina cycle In early1980s, Kalina introduced a new thermodynamic power cycle using an ammonia–water mixture as a working fluid and was named Kalina cycle [62]. The Kalina cycle is a modified Rankine cycle consisting proprietary designs for using the ammonia-water working fluid. The scheme of a typical Kalina cycle is shown in Fig. 5. Intermediate concentration of ammonia in state 1 is pumped to state 2, and then heated in a recuperator and heat up by brine in evaporator. In state 5, the liquid and vapor part is split. The vapor phase in state 6, send to the expander and mixed with liquid part. This is cooled in recuperator and condenser. Theoretically, the Kalina cycle can convert around 45% heat to power, and up to 52% in gas turbine combined cycle plant; this compares with 35% and 45% for steam cycle [63]. The Kalina cycle cycles show about 32% more power in the industrial waste heat application comparison with an ORC. Nonetheless, the Kalina cycle in small biomass direct-fired based cogeneration do not have better performance than ORC. The adoption of the Kalina cycle to heat source sink is one of the advantages over the ORC cycle, as the ammonia–water composition and the system high and low pressure levels can be adjusted [64].
