  • Apparatus and process for generation of energy by organic rankine cycle
    Patent number: 9494056
    Abstract: An apparatus for generation of energy through organic Rankine cycle comprises a heat exchanger (3) to exchange heat between a high temperature source and an organic working fluid, so as to heat and evaporate said working fluid, an expansion turbine (4) of the radial-outflow type, fed with the vaporized working fluid outflowing from the heat exchanger (3), to make a conversion of the thermal energy present in the working fluid into mechanical energy according to a Rankine cycle, a condenser (6) where the working fluid outflowing from the turbine (4) is condensed and sent to a pump (2) and then fed to the heat exchanger (3).
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 13, 2012
    Date of Patent: November 15, 2016
    Assignee: EXERGY S.P.A.
    Inventors: Claudio Spadacini, Dario Rizzi, Alessandro Barbato, Lorenzo Centemeri
