In the 1980’s, toluene was considered as a high temperature working fluid for both solar and space ORC applications (Havens and Rogaller, 1988). Extensive long term testing was done at 750 oF yielding quantitative degradation rates of around 0.3 wt% per year. This is an acceptable rate for ORC purposes. Table 1 shows that benzene is the most thermally stable of the candidate working fluids. Next after benzene is toluene. Compared to the stability of isobutane at 290 oF (typical for geothermal operations), benzene at 700 oF would have about 1.5% of the degradation rate and toluene at 700 oF would have 9,000 times greater degradation. However, this would still be less than 0.02 wt% per year based on the Havens and Rogaller report.

Relative Stability Compared to Toluene at 750oF For the bottoming cycle, the range of fluid maximum temperatures is anticipated to be in the 300 oF to 350 oF range, and isobutane has been successfully used at such temperatures in large and small geothermal plants for decades. This experience with isobutane coupled with the comparable thermal stability of n-butane, the fluid of choice for the bottoming cycle, obviates any need to further investigate its suitability. 15
