It follows that, since no working fluid can be flagged as optimal, the study of the working fluid candidates should be integrated into the design process of any ORC system. Many studies [38,39,41,43,46,48,50–56] recommend the fluid with the highest critical temperature, which might suggest that the plant efficiency could be further improved by selecting even higher critical point working fluids [40]. However, as aforemen- tioned, a high critical temperature also implies working at low vapor densities, leading to higher system cost. It can therefore be concluded that the thermodynamic effi- ciency alone cannot be considered as the sole criterion for the selection of the working fluid. More holistic selection methods should be considered. However, very few studies include addi- tional parameters taking into account the practical design of the ORC system, mainly because of the difficulty to define a proper function for a multi-objective optimization of the cycle. Examples of such studies are provided in [58–62], where a fluid selection taking into account the required heat exchange area, turbine size, cost of the system, risk, etc. are provided. These studies reveal that taking the economics into account can lead to the selection of very different optimal operating conditions and working fluids. Those methods should therefore be preferred to the simplistic thermodynamic benchmarking of candidate working fluids. 6. Expansion machines The performance of an ORC system strongly correlates with that of the expander. The choice of the technology depends on the operating conditions and on the size of the system. Two main types of machines can be distinguished: the turbo and positive displace- ment types. Similar to refrigeration applications, displacement type machines are more appropriate in small-scale ORC units (Fig. 10), as they are characterized by lower flow rates, higher pressure ratios and much lower rotational speeds than turbo-machines [63]. 6.1. Turbomachines A distinction is generally made between two main types of turbines: the axial turbine and the radial inflow turbine. Axial turbines show a distinct design when used in combina- tion with high molecular weight working fluids. The main difference between organic fluids and steam is the enthalpy drop during the expansion, which is much higher for steam. As already mentioned, fewer stages are required in the case of an organic fluid. Even single-stage turbines can be employed for low or medium temperature ORC cycles. Another characteristic of organic fluids is the low speed of sound. As a result, this speed is reached much sooner in an ORC than in a steam cycle and constitutes an important limitation as high Mach numbers are related to higher irreversibilities and lower turbine efficiencies. Radial inflow turbines are designed for high pressure ratios and low working fluid flow rates. Their geometry allows higher peripheral speeds than for axial turbines, and therefore a higher enthalpy drop per stage. They also have the advantage of main- taining an acceptable efficiency over a large range of part-load
