Summary
The exhaust heat of energy conversion systems can be usefully recovered by Organic Rankine Cycles (ORC) instead of wasting it into the environment, with benefits in terms of system efficiency and environmental impact. Rankine cycle technology, consolidated in stationary power plants, has not yet spread out into transport applications due to the layout limitations and to the necessity of containing the size and weight of the ORC system. The authors investigated an ORC system bottoming a compression ignition engine for marine application. The exhaust mass flow rate and temperature, measured at different engine loads, have been used as inputs for modeling the ORC plant in a Simulink environment. An energy and exergy analysis of the ORC was performed, as well as the evaluation of the ORC power at different engine loads. Two different working fluids were considered: R1233zd(e), an innovative fluid belonging to the class of hydrofluoroolefin, still in development but interesting due to its low flammability, health hazard, and environmental impact, and R601, a hydrocarbon showing a benchmark thermodynamic performance but highly flammable, considered as a reference for comparison. Three plant configurations were investigated: single-pressure, dual-pressure, and reheating. The results demonstrated that the dual-pressure configuration achieves the highest exploitation of exhaust heat. R1233zd(e) produced an additional mechanical power of 8.0% with respect to the engine power output, while, for R601, the relative contribution of the ORC power was 8.7%.
