The present invention provides an improved, commercially available organic working fluid that can be used in organic Rankine cycle (ORC) power plants or units and similar system; as an intermediate fluid for heat- recovery. Such organic working fluids are also operable as heat transferred fluids. The working fluid comprising at least one highly branched, heavy iso-paraffin hydrocarbons, or a mixture of two or more of such hydrocarbons. A preferred sub-class of the class of the branched iso-paraffins in organic working fluids of the present invention includes 8 to 20 carbon atom containing hydrocarbons having at least one methyl radical (CH3) arranged to achieve a highly stable compound. |
