In this context the expander plays an important role. High performance is often the main target in the preliminary design of the expander; however, ease of manufacturing and competitive cost might similarly contribute to a successful solution. The design of expanders for high efficiency and manufacturability is an unexplored field in organic Rankine cycle power systems. In this paper, we propose a multidisciplinary approach to perform the preliminary design of radial-inflow turbines for organic Rankine cycle power systems, considering both performance and manufacturability aspects. The suitability of a turbine design is evaluated using two figures of merit: a manufacturability indicator and the turbine total-to-static efficiency. A mean-line model, estimating the turbine perfor- mance, is coupled to a model for the generation of a preliminary three-dimensional turbine geometry. In this way, the turbine performance and its manufacturability, predicted from the turbine geometry, can be simultaneously evaluated. A multi-objective optimization is then performed using the integrated design model to optimize both the turbine efficiency and manufacturability by varying the decision variables related to its geometrical and fluid-dynamic characteristics. In order to show its relevance in a practical application, the method is applied to two radial-inflow turbines cases: a state-of-the-art turbine using air and a turbine using the working fluid Novec 649 for a heat recovery application. The results indicate that there exists a trade-off between turbine performance and manufacturability, and that it is possible to develop turbine solutions with similar values of efficiency with improved manufacturability indicator by up to 14-15 %. 1. INTRODUCTION The current technological limits of organic Rankine cycle (ORC) power systems are extending towards small-to-micro scale applications (<100 kW). However, a major barrier for a full deployment of the ORC technology is the lack of cost-effective solutions, which would result in a more attractive specific cost and payback time. Thanks to their compact size, high specific work, high efficiency and low investment cost compared to the other expander technologies, radial-inflow turbines (RITs) are often selected for small-to-micro scale applications. The aerodynamic design of such machines is a challenging task and 5th International Seminar on ORC Power Systems, September 9-11, 2019, Athens, Greece Paper ID: 57, Page 1
