Abstract:
To improve the overall thermal efficiency of the organic Rankine cycle(ORC), a simulation study was carried out for a combined heat and power(CHP)system, using the Redlich-Kuang-Soave(RKS)equation of state. In the system, R245fa was selected as the working fluid. A scroll expander was modeled with empirical isentropic expansion efficiency. Plate heat exchangers were selected as the evaporator and the condenser, and detailed heat transfer models were programmed for both one-phase and two-phase regions. Simulations were carried out at seven different heat source temperatures(80, 90, 100, 110, 120, 130, 140 ℃)in combination with eight different heat sink temperatures(20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55 ℃). Results show that in the ORC without an internal heat exchanger(IHE), the optimum cycle efficiencies are in the range of 7.0% to 7.3% when the temperature differences between the heat source and heat sink are in the range of 70 to 90 ℃. Simulations on CHP reveal that domestic hot water can be produced when the heat sink inlet temperature is higher than 40 ℃, and the corresponding exergy efficiency and overall thermal efficiency are 29% to 56% and 87% to 90% higher than those in the non-CHP ORC, respectively. It is found that the IHE has little effect on the improvement of work output and efficiencies for the CHP ORC.
为提高有机朗肯循环(ORC)的热效率, 基于RKS状态方程编制模拟程序对热电联产系统进行模拟研究.其中, 循环工质选用R245fa, 涡旋膨胀机模型依据经验等熵膨胀效率建立, 蒸发器和冷凝器选用板式换热器, 并对单、两相区建立详细的传热模型.该程序模拟了7个热源温度(80, 90, 100, 110, 120, 130, 140 ℃)和8个冷源温度(20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55 ℃)下的循环工况.结果表明:在无内热交换器ORC中, 当冷热源温差处于70~90 ℃, 最佳循环效率为7.0%~7.3%;当冷源入口温度高于40 ℃, CHP ORC输出生活热水, 且系统效率和热效率分别比非CHP系统增加了29%~56%和87%~90%;内热交换器对CHP ORC系统输出功及效率的改善很小.
