This work is focused on finding an optimized working fluid for biomass ORC with respect to thermodynamic properties. Other criteria are discussed only in qualitative respects. Two thermodynamic parameters have to be considered evaluating working fluids for ORC. The thermal efficiency represents the ORC itself neglecting the thermal behavior of heat sources and sinks. Total heat recovery efficiency takes this influence into consideration and it is the more meaningful parameter, but more difficult to determine. We will show that thermal efficiency can be used for bio- mass applications in order to sufficiently evaluate fluid selection. 2. Specifics of ORC for cogeneration in biomass plants In comparison to low grade heat applications, the ORC for biomass combustion differently constrains fluid selec- tion. It is obvious that temperature levels are significantly higher (Table 1). The condenser temperature is about 370 K to satisfy the needs of the heating network. This means that many fluids for low grade heat utilization can not be used, because their vapor pressure is quite high even at condensation temperature. The turbine inlet temperature could be close to flame temperature, but organic fluids would become chemically unstable. Therefore, maximum process temperature is lim- ited to about 600 K [7]. The interaction of the heat flows is illustrated in temper- ature–enthalpy flow diagrams allowing to show also tur- bine power. The extensive enthalpy flow H_ is taken simplifying the comparison of different substances. In most cases, the fluid is coupled to the flue gas by ther- mal oil to avoid local overheating and to operate the heat exchanger in the flue gas at atmospheric pressure. This leads to a pinch point similar to low grade heat applica- tions at the beginning of vaporization and another pinch point between thermal oil and flue gas (Fig. 2(a)). These pinch points are the reason why thermal efficiency and total heat recovery do not strongly correlate. But in comparison to low grade heat applications, the thermal oil mass flow can be adjusted to a certain extent. Furthermore, we can transfer the heat by more than one thermal oil cycle. Thus, we propose a plant design with two thermal oil boilers in 6 Superheater 5 Evaporator 4 Preheater 9 Turbine 7 Recuperator 3 8 Feed Pump 2 Condenser 1 Fig. 1.
