System for Recovering Through an Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) Energy From a Plurality of Heat Sources

摘要

In an ORC energy converter with parallel preheaters and evaporators different waste heat streams of an internal combustion engine are utilized with parallel evaporators in a common ORC energy converter. The ORC energy converter with parallel evaporators has the same working fluid for each evaporator and the working fluid is separated after the pre-feed system or the feed system and the flows are mixed after the evaporators or at the condenser inlet. Also the working fluid sides of the evaporators can be combined so that only the heat source sides are separated.

1. A system for recovering through an Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) energy from a plurality of heat sources, said system comprising a circuit in which an organic working fluid circulates, the circuit including at least one turbine, at least one condenser, at least one pump and at least two evaporators arranged in parallel, each said evaporator being in heat transferring contact with one of said heat sources.
