  • CASCADED CONDENSER FOR MULTI-UNIT GEOTHERMAL ORC
    Publication number: 20110314818
    Abstract: A pair of organic rankine cycle systems are connected in series with the geothermal fluid passing first through an evaporator of the first system and then through an evaporator of the second system before returning to a sink. Similarly, the cooling tower is arranged to provide cooling water to pass first through the condenser in one system and then through the condenser of the other system, to reduce the total flow required and the size of associated cooling hardware.
