Screw expander performance seems to be slightly lower: none of the experimental studies reports perfor- mance much higher than 60%. Other types of positive-displace- ment expanders such as the vane or gerotor types also show low efficiencies, which may be due to the fact that experimental studies on these machines are scarce in the literature. 7. Heat exchangers The remaining components of the cycle, although well-known, also deserve some attention, particularly in light of their selection and integration into ORC systems. Heat exchangers represent a major share of the total module cost. Their optimization should therefore be carefully performed. Key characteristics regarding heat transfers are the efficiency (or pinch point) and pressure drops. Each heat exchanger in the cycle is sized according to these two parameters. Different types of heat exchangers can be used, the most common being shell & tube (mainly in larger-scale systems) and plate heat exchangers (mainly in small-scale systems, due to their compactness). A critical heat exchanger is usually the exchanger installed on the heat source. Depending on its nature, this heat exchanger must withstand high temperatures and can be subject to fouling and/or corrosion. In case of waste heat recovery, the heat exchanger must not interfere with the process, i.e. the pressure drop should be limited and its dimensions must comply with the available space. Moreover, in case of flue gases with sulfur content, the acid dew point should be avoided. This explains why in most commercial plants the exhaust gases are not cooled below 120–180 1C, depending on the sulfur content of the gases. Research is being carried out to design heat exchangers able to withstand and evacuate acid condensates. Heat can be recovered by means of two different setups: (1) direct heat exchange between heat source and working fluid and (2) an intermediate heat transfer fluid loop that is integrated to transfer heat from the waste heat site to the evaporator, usually using thermal oil. Direct evaporation, although more efficient and conceptually simpler, involves a number of issues: 􏱠 At high temperatures (e.g. during start-up and transients), the working fluid can deteriorate when its maximal chemical stability temperature is reached, or when hot spots appear in the heat exchanger. 􏱠 The controllability and the stability of the systems are harder to achieve in case of direct evaporation. In contrast, a heat transfer loop damps the fast variations of the heat source and allows smoother cycle operation (e.g. to control the super- heating in a solar ORC system). As a consequence, most commercial ORC installations make use of an intermediate heat transfer loop (see for example Fig. 3). Advanced architectures also focus on the integration of the heat exchangers. A good example is provided by the Turboden unit (Fig. 14): the condenser and the recuperator are integrated into a single component together with the turbine and the liquid receiver, which increases compactness, avoids piping and reduces leakages. 8. Pump ORC feed pumps are key components and should be given particular care during the selection and sizing process. They should comply with the cycle requirement in terms of controll- ability, efficiency, tightness and NPSH, as described below. 8.1. Controllability In most ORC systems, the pump is used to control the working fluid mass flow rate. The electrical motor is connected to an inverter which allows varying the rotating speed. In positive- displacement pumps, the flow rate is roughly proportional to the rotating speed, while in centrifugal pumps this flow rate also
