Cooling Potential of Micro Supercritical CO2 Turbines per Kilowatt of Electricity Generated

Micro sCO2 turbines provide significant cooling per kilowatt of electricity generated, particularly when operating from low temperature heat sources. Although higher turbine inlet temperatures and lower condenser temperatures improve electrical efficiency, the rejected heat remains substantial. By capturing this cooling capacity, operators can enhance system performance and deliver dual benefits of power generation and refrigeration from the same thermal resource.

Comparing Carnot Efficiency in Organic Rankine Cycle and Supercritical CO2 Turbomachinery

Introduction

All heat engines are bound by the same thermodynamic law: the Carnot efficiency. Whether the working fluid is an organic compound in an Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) or supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO2) in a Brayton cycle, the maximum efficiency achievable depends only on the hot side and cold side temperatures. This article examines how Carnot efficiency applies to both systems and what real world performance looks like.

The Carnot Efficiency Formula

Carnot efficiency is expressed as:

$$

eta = 1 • frac{T_c}{T_h}

$$

Where:

$T_h$ = hot side temperature in Kelvin

$T_c$ = cold side temperature in Kelvin

This formula represents the upper theoretical limit for any cycle, regardless of working fluid.

Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC)

ORC systems are often used for low to medium temperature heat sources such as geothermal, biomass, and industrial waste heat.

Typical hot side: 100 to 350 °C

Typical cold side: 20 to 40 °C

Example: With $T_h = 200 °C (473 K)$ and $T_c = 30 °C (303 K)$, Carnot efficiency is 36 percent.

Practical efficiency: ORC systems typically achieve 8 to 20 percent. This corresponds to about 30 to 50 percent of Carnot, limited by pump losses, turbine design, and heat exchanger effectiveness.

Supercritical CO2 Turbomachinery

sCO2 cycles are well suited for higher temperature heat sources, including concentrated solar power, nuclear reactors, and high grade industrial waste heat.

Typical hot side: 400 to 700 °C or higher

Typical cold side: 20 to 40 °C

Example: With $T_h = 600 °C (873 K)$ and $T_c = 35 °C (308 K)$, Carnot efficiency is 65 percent.

Practical efficiency: Modern sCO2 turbomachinery can reach 35 to 50 percent. These systems often achieve 55 to 70 percent of the Carnot limit due to high fluid density, compact turbines, and excellent recuperation.

Comparison and Key Differences

ORC excels at capturing low grade heat where sCO2 is inefficient, but suffers from low Carnot limits and reduced practical efficiencies.

sCO2 achieves much higher efficiencies at elevated temperatures and can approach a much larger fraction of Carnot compared to ORC.

Both systems are ultimately constrained by Carnot efficiency, but the choice of working fluid determines how closely real world designs can approach that theoretical limit.

Conclusion

Carnot efficiency provides a common framework for comparing heat engine technologies. In low temperature applications, ORC offers a viable solution despite modest efficiencies. At higher temperatures, supercritical CO2 turbomachinery demonstrates significant advantages, achieving both higher theoretical and practical performance. Selecting the right working fluid is therefore a matter of matching source temperature with the technology that can best exploit it.

AI Data Center Chip Cooling using Cluster Mesh Power Generation System by Infinity Turbine Waste Heat to Power

The Infinity Turbine Cluster Mesh Power Generation concept is an innovative approach to utilizing waste heat from AI GPUs and data centers to generate electricity efficiently. The system leverages small Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) turbines, each with a capacity of 1 to 5 kW, interconnected in a mesh network similar to a Tesla Megapack and Salgenx Grid Scale Saltwater Flow Battery.

Heated and pressurized CO2 is used as the working fluid to drive these turbines, converting excess data center heat into usable electricity.

This electricity can either be fed back into the data center, reducing its operational costs, or supplied to the grid. The recycling of CO2 within the closed loop system enhances energy efficiency and reduces cooling demands, leading to significant savings in data center power consumption and environmental impact.

Data center savings will range from $1 million to $4 million per year depending on size.

Licensing available for data centers, home HVAC, commercial HVAC, vehicle HVAC, and more.

Energy Transformation: The Gold Rush of the Future – Powering Innovation and Data Centers

This article examines the escalating demand for energy fueled by technologies like AI Data Centers and cryptocurrency (Bitcoin) mining, highlighting energy's pivotal role in the economy. It contrasts additive industries, which generate sustainable value, with depletive industries, which exhaust resources. Energy production is positioned as a hybrid, with renewable sources like solar power classified as additive while fossil fuels remain depletive. The piece emphasizes that as energy becomes essential for innovation, sustainable production and storage solutions will define the future, marking energy as the next economic gold rush.

We're also working on a article on a detailed description of Xai Colossal in Memphis TN at the old 785,000 sq.ft. Electrolux facility.

Currently the worlds largest supercomputer starting with 100,000 NVIDIA H100 GPUs then adding another 100,000 units shortly thereafter. The xAI facility is demanding a jaw-dropping 150 MW of firm power by the end of 2024. To put that demand in perspective, 150 MW is enough electricity to power 100,000 homes.

This facility uses the Tesal Megapack to smooth power, something that the Salgenx Grid-Scale battery can also do for data centers.
