Experimental study of the integration of a scroll expander into a heat recovery Rankine cycle.

Summary

This study investigates the possibility to associate a scroll expander and a heat recovery Rankine cycle, working with water. With a view to developing such a scroll expander, three scroll compressors were adapted to be run in expander mode. The three tested expanders were fed with water steam and air. Two of them needed to be lubricated. The third expander ass also fed with a binary mixture of water and propylene glycol. A model of a scroll expander is proposed and validated.
