Résumé

Organic Rankine Cycles (ORC) are thermodynamic power cycles designed to generate work from low temperature heat sources. The low temperature heat input is, typically, between 80°C to 270°C. The efficiency of an ORC is highly dependent on the expander characteristics. This article experimentally evaluates the performance of a scroll expander with nominal capacity of 5 kW, built-in volume ratio of 3.5. Tests were conducted in an ORC test-rig using R245fa as the working fluid. The expander was tested over a full performance map consisting of two temperature sources 85°C and 110°C and five expander speeds, from 800 RPM to 3000 RPM.
The scroll expander achieved a maximum isentropic efficiency of 0.58, for a volume ratio of 6.12, at the expander speed of 1600 RPM and temperature source of 110°C. The same temperature source also registered the maximum expander power output, 3.75 kW, at volume ratio of 6.55 and an expander speed of 2500 RPM. A semi-empirical model was developed to predict the expander output power and isentropic efficiency. The model was in close agreement with the experimental results with a mean deviation of 4.93%, for the expander isentropic efficiency, and 4.23%, for the power output. The semi-empirical model suggests friction and leakage influence efficiency more than any other source.
