ORC Technology
Converting Heat into Clean Power
The Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) is a proven thermodynamic technology that converts low- and medium-temperature heat into electrical power.
Unlike conventional steam Rankine cycles, ORC systems use organic working fluids with lower boiling points, allowing efficient power generation from heat sources that are not suitable for steam turbines.
ORC technology enables the recovery of valuable energy from waste heat, industrial processes, engines, and natural heat sources, transforming otherwise lost energy into clean electricity.
Why ORC?
ORC systems offer a reliable and efficient solution for decentralized and sustainable power generation.
- Utilization of low-grade and waste heat
- No additional fuel consumption
- Low emissions and minimal environmental impact
- High reliability with low maintenance requirements
- Long operational lifetime
- Fully automated operation
Sources
Heat Sources Suitable for ORC
ORC systems can be engineered to operate with a wide range of thermal energy sources, including:
- Industrial waste heat
- Engine exhaust gases
- Engine jacket water and cooling systems
- Geothermal and natural heat sources
- Process heat from manufacturing facilities
Each heat source has unique characteristics, which is why system design and optimization are critical.
