Abstract

About one third of the energy available on internal combustion engines is actually converted into effective power. The recovery of the dissipation heat and their conversion into electricity is an effective way to increase the efficiency of these engines and therefore reduced their consumptions. Among the current and potentially adopted technologies for this valorisation is the Organic Rankine Cycle system. Thus, the various components constituting the ORC system (motor-pump, heat exchanger and expander) were modelled and dimensioned from the parameters or data provided by the manufacturers’ catalogues, and then selected with imperative to optimize the cycle.
