However, because the ORC is a critical technology that allows for enhanced energy utilization, many stakeholders, including companies, governments, and customers, support its use and development. Moreover, the optimization of the ORC and its components is currently the subject of many research studies3-4-5. The goal, broadly speaking, is to reduce the unit energy price of ORC systems and promote market adoption. Innovations of the Organic Flash Cycle (OFC) Dr. Ho from the Mechanical Engineering Department at the University of California, Berkeley and his advisors from the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (“LBNL”) have designed a new variant of the ORC that will potentially result in better efficiency utilization of thermal resources. This new variant has been named the Organic Flash Cycle (“OFC”).6 While similar in many ways to the ORC, the OFC is different because it has a throttling valve that manages passage of the flow within the system. With a throttling valve, steam is produced from saturated liquid instead of using an evaporation process through the heater. In the ORC, as shown in Figure 2, the organic fluid is pumped to increase pressure (stage 1) and is then vaporized inside a heater (stage 2). Within an ORC system, the heater is comprised of three separate components: a preheater, an evaporator, and a regenerator. In the heater, the organic liquid is heated by an external heat source, such as heat from industrial processes, geothermal, biomass, or solar applications. Through the heater, the organic liquid is vaporized into a high-pressure gas and goes through a turbine (stage 3) to generate electricity. After the gas expands, the fluid is condensed back into its liquid form (stage 4) and the closed cycle is completed. In the OFC, the working fluid is always in liquid phase as it goes through the heater. Once the liquid is hot, it is subsequently throttled in a flash evaporator, which separates it into vapor and liquid. The separated vapor is transferred to the turbine, and the separated liquid is throttled again to lower pressure, where it is mixed with vapor exhaust from the turbine. Figure 3 shows a variant of the OFC called the “Modified OFC”. In this variant, turbine expansion is done in 2 stages. After the fluid is separated into liquid and vapor in the flash evaporator, the vapor goes through the first turbine. After expansion in this turbine, the vapor exhaust is mixed with the liquid from the flash evaporator in a mixer. In the mixer, the superheated vapor and saturated liquid produce a saturated vapor that can be used again in a second turbine. The liquid is condensed in the condenser once it exits the second turbine and the cycle is completed. In the subsequent Key Opportunities section, we describe why we have identified the “Modified OFC” as the preferred OFC variant and the most likely candidate for a minimum viable product (“MVP”). 3PDF Image | ElectraTherm Commissions 10 Green Machines
