components are fixed. Flexible tubing was installed at the inlet and outlet of the pump to allow the static head at the inlet of the pump to be varied. Piping losses were considered and appropriate pipe diameter selected to ensure the losses were negligible. 4.5.3 Instrumentation Temperature, pressure and flow rate data is collected throughout the system to allow the user to operate the system and reach a steady state at the desired operating conditions. A CompacDAQ is used for data acquisition and allows the system performance to be evaluated. Currently the system will need to be controlled by the user, but as the system dynamics are understood better PID control will be implemented. 5. CONSTRUCTION Construction of the system was completed throughout the year and the system is now ready for testing. The majority of the components selected were readily available which reduced the fabrication time frame. Extra care was taken throughout the construction and assembly processes to ensure there were no leaks in the system, thus preventing loss of refrigerant. Figure 14 - ORC-B ready for testing 6. SUMMARY This paper presents the design process required for the development of a small scale ORC test bed as well as the required component selection considerations. All system components were selected, fabricated and assembled ready for the system to be charged and tested. 7. FUTURE WORK The immediate future work on this system is to charge the system with the HFC-M1 refrigerant. Once this is complete the system will be extensively tested to allow research into the system behavior. The performance of the unit will then be analyzed and any necessary changes implemented. A custom made radial turbine will be tested within the system. Once all required testing is complete the system will be used to optimize control methods and test different working fluids at a small, manageable scale. This will aid system design as it will allow refrigerant performance to be tested and control systems to be developed to control the dynamic behavior of the ORC-B system.
