Description:Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) systems are used for power production from low to medium-temperature heat sources in the range of 80 to 350 °C and for small-medium applications at any temperature level. This technology makes it possible to use low-grade heat, otherwise, that would be lost. An Organic Rankine Cycle power plant operates similarly to the Clausius-Rankine Cycle, the most popular method for producing electricity. Working fluid enters the orifice of either axial or radial or both inlets as shown in assembled drawings via the flow control valve. The expansion process takes place by balancing pressure to a high-velocity stream through nozzles. Due to this, the turbine achieves a specific rotational speed and then transfers power to the shaft. , Claims:We Claim –
1.) ORC expander (as mentioned in assembly) to be used to provide a maximum power of 25KW, the expander comprises-
I. Configured position of the inlet and outlet of radial (6) and axial turbine (7) for organic working fluid to enter and exit respectively.
II. Position and rotational direction of radial (6) and axial turbine (7) (i.e., opposite rotation to each other).
III. Configuration of the radial turbine (6) to gear (17, shown in assembly) via shaft (18) and axial turbine to gear (17, shown in assembly) via shaft (10).
IV. Configuration mentioned in (V.) to perpendicular miter bevel gears (17, shown in assembly) and ultimately to differential (15).
V. Configuration mentioned in (VI.) to output gear shaft (16).
VI. Position of lock rod (19) and shaft lock system above each shaft.
VII. Position of lock slot below lock rod.
VIII. Position of Pressure stabilization inlet.
2.) As claimed in (1.), Provision of Pressure Stabilization Inlet (mentioned in assembly) for Stabilization and to avoid mixing of Organic fluid into casing 2(13).
3.) As claimed in (1.), the connection of radial (6) and axial turbine (7) to the differential via shafts and gear allows priority transfer of power.
4.) As claimed in (1.), the Provision of a lock rod and lock system to block rotation of either shaft mentioned in Case 1 and Case 2, to transfer power to the output shaft gear via the differential.
