Also Suitable for Industrial Heat Recovery and Geo Thermal applications. 

If you have a specific application, we need the temperature in C, and heat flow in terms of btu/hr.

 

Radial Outflow Turbine Generator - Organic Rankine Cycle -  Turbine

The radial outflow turbine designed and produced by Turbine CNC Company and is for making power from waste heat.          

The ROT (radial outflow turbine) operates on a single rotor with multiple stages to direct drive a 50/60 hz AC generator, no gearbox required, and is optimal for Organic Rankine Cycle applications.

 

Our system makes electricity from heated liquid 80 C to 120 C heat from solar, hot geothermal, engine,

compressor and industrial waste heat.

Our turbine peoduction contractor  has a Waterjet Machining Center and High Speed Vertical Milling CNC Machine, which allows us to build any size turbine from 5 inches diameter to 24 inches in diameter,

which covers the range from 2 kW to 3 MW in output power.

 

Low RPM = No Gearbox Needed

 

The advantage of a ROT turbine is that it is a lower RPM turbine, which allows a direct drive to a standard 1,800 or 3,600 RPM generator. It also allows the use of either 50 hz or 60 hz DC or AC. Pressurized flow enters from the front of the turbine, and is expanded outwards to the perimeter of the turbine through several stages.

 

Inlet flow is first directed by stators (stationary foils) into the first stage on the rotor, then through another set of stators to another stage on the rotor. The expanded gas exits on the perimeter of the rotor, and finally exits out the back of the turbine.

 

Because the lower RPM allows a direct drive generator, it eliminates the need for a gearbox which is typical on high speed turbines. The gearbox is added cost, and has to be rebuilt every 3-5 years.

 

Lower RPM also allows the use of slower speed shaft bearings, which increases the longevity of the the machine operation, and less frequent maintenance intervals.

 

Low RPM Turbines and Small CHP ORC Systems Can Capture 95 Percent of World's Waste Heat

 

The prevailing large turbine generator wisdom right now in the commercial market is for high-speed, complex turbines that drive a high speed generator, which requires expensive switchgear and grid-tie equipment.

 

Philosophy is to keep the technology as advanced and simple as possible, using as much off-the-shelf components as possible to keep costs within a reasonable payback period of 3 years or less.

 

This cost effective approach will allow more utilization of low grade waste heat, under the 500 kW system size, which we estimate is 95 percent of the worlds available waste heat (that is accessible and available for use).

 

Very few equipment manufacturers are in this smaller (sub-500 kW) market, because they cannot cost effectively manufacture the equipment, since most of it is custom built using expensive components.

 

We challenge this conventional market strategy, and present a system that is affordable in terms of a short payback period in electrical production cost savings, from using a low grade temperature waste heat source.

Matching to our Prime Power Hydrogen Fueled Power Plants -Waste Heat Turbine DC Generator System

If you have a diesel engine which is used for power generation, a prime mover such as marine, rail, pumping, compression or other constant use - a Secure Supplies CHP Turbine can capture the exhaust and/or coolant heat to produce power.  This may amount to 26 percent additional electrical power output. In addition, you may be able to eliminate the HP used to drive the radiator fans internal or external Fans or electrolyzers.

For example: QSK60-G4 Cummins QSK60 Series Diesel Generator Set 1600KW/1875KVA (1875KVA-2250KVA)

Heat Rejection to Coolant:  850 kWm x 3412 kWm/btu / (30,000 btu/kWe) = 97 kWe available CHP ORC power production

Heat Rejection to Exhaust: 1,180 kWm x 3412 kWm/btu / (30,000 btu/kWe) x 95 percent efficiency = 127 kWe available CHPORC power production

Total Waste Heat to Power ORC Production: 224 kWe

Heat Exchanger from Airec:  AirCompact 70 - 160/C

Price Each For Heat Exchanger: Euro 4,500 Ex-works (shipping not included) Sweden.

Electric Generator Power Plant Waste Heat and Geothermal Power Generation Kit

 

W 24 inch (610 mm)

L 32 inch (813 mm)

H 46 inch (1180 mm).

The turbine system has one moving part.  Both the turbine and magnetic rotor are attached to the same shaft, which eliminates any external shaft sealing issues.

 

The DC power output can be routed to a voltage controller, or to a inverter so that AC power can be supplied to a local or utility grid.  A standard solar or wind inverter can be used. Now Offering is now offering the optional SMA grid inverter to convert DC to AC power.  Power production can be monitored via web or iPhone.

 

The entire turbine generator is very durable and designed to last years without any maintenance.

 

The turbine housing uses standard o-rings for seals, and 3/8 inch bolts for both assembly and mounting bores on the bottom and top of the unit. 

 

The inlet is a 1 inch NPT and the exit is one large 4 inch NPT.

 

This all-in-one unit can be used in the standard ORC configuration using refrigerants as working fluid, but also with compressed air, steam and other pressurized flows.

 

Because this is an expander, it can be used in ORC applications, but also in pressure reducing applications, such as natural gas or chiller reducer valves.

 

The compact size of the turbine generator allow it to be used in stationary but also mobile (transportation) applications.

 

The modular block design, allows the unit to be dis-assembled, and re-assembled in about less than an hour.

Applications

 

This unique system allows you to use your Engine Power Plant  Exhuast Heat flare gas, waste heat, waste hot water, geothermal, geo-pressurized, hydrothermal, enhanced geothermal, turbine exhaust, or re-injected waste water to power a organic Rankine cycle (ORC) turbine generator.

 

Geothermal and Waste Heat Organic Rankine Cycle:

 

The technology developed using a ORC (Organic Rankine Cycle) can operate off any heat source, with a minimum of 125 deg F temperature differential between the heat source and sink. 

 

Geothermal energy is only one potential application.  Similar systems are already in operation off heat generated from landfill flares and gas turbine exhaust.  Other applications may include using biomass as a fuel.

Why Install a ORC CHP Machine ?

Capturing low grade heat which would otherwise be vented to the atmosphere can be used to generate rotational horsepower.  This can be used to power a electrical generator, or other rotary equipment such as pumps.  In addition, the exiting, heat from the turbine can be used in CHP (Combined Heat and Power) applications to heat water, desalination, or even in adsorption chillers to make chilled water, ice, or air conditioning. 

Why Low Temperature Waste Heat ?

Secure Supplies has studied waste heat availability worldwide and has assessed the market to recover that heat which we believe 95 percent is at or below the 100 C (212 F) range.  We choose this System of CHP to Simply best the most reliable and cost effictive , made from best components.

 

Organic Rankine Cycle is more efficient at this range than the Kalina Cycle.  For the small amount of the market which has high heat available (well above 100 C) you can use steam systems. 

 

Organic Rankine Cycle uses refrigerants as the working fluid which boil below 100 C (212 F).  The pressurized vapor can then be expanded through a turbine to spin a generator. 

 Radial Outflow Turbine with 15 inch diameter rotor, direct drive to a U.S. Motor 12 kW 60hz induction generator. PLC optional.

 

If you are wandering about how much power you can generate from your heat source, I need heat flow in terms of btu/hr.

 

You need to convert hot gas stream into a thermal liquid (water, glycol, oil) which we can then use in our system.  To do that, you have to source a HRU - heat recovery unit (or heat exchanger) that takes your heat from your source and converts to a liquid.  We have examples of third party HRU sources towards the end of the email (examples are Cain, Bowman and Airec).

 

What is a CHP ORC turbine generator system ? Organic Rankine Cycle is a way to take low grade temperature waste heat, and make electricity. CHP ORC is a bottoming cycle, specifically designed to utilize low grade heat (80-140 C) and is not very efficient, but can use heat which is otherwise vented to the air.

 

The process is similar to a steam turbine, but instead of using water as the working fluid to make steam, we use refrigerant, which will turn into a pressurized vapor at a lower temperature than water (100 C). An example of a topping cycle would be using Supercritical CO2, which can be 40-50 percent overall efficiency, but requires very high pressure and temperatures (400 C +).

 

Who can profit or save money using a CHP ORC system ? While we do build smaller ORC systems, only the larger systems save and make money.  Current technology does not cost effectively scale down well, so it is not yet cost effective for residential use.  Small business and industrial users can install a CHP ORC system and have a payback in 2-3 years.  

 

What is waste heat, and what heat can be utilized ?  Generally, any heat source that can be converted to a liquid (water, glycol, oil, etc.) and is free, is a good source for a CHP ORC system. If you have to pay to harvest the heat (like solar), then it does not make economic sense, unless your grid based power is very expensive. 

 

The CHP ORC system is designed for low grade waste heat recovery, and is only 5-10 percent efficient at the lower tempeatures. If you pay for your heat, or pay to have it harvested, then the payback term will be more than 3 years. Examples of waste heat which can successfully be used in a CHP ORC system, with good payback, is industrial, engine, hot geothermal, biomass heat sources.

 

Oil and Gas

 

The oil and gas also provides another possible application for the CHP ORC power plant. 

Because most oil and gas wells are quite deep, they are warmed by the natural thermal gradient of the earth.  In 2004 the U.S. produced over 2 billion bbl of “waste” water along with the oil and gas production, primarily from the Gulf States with temperatures high enough to produce electricity.  This hot water could be used to generate power directly, without impacting oil and gas production. Similar Maps

have been made for South Australian and other Cities Particularys Asia.

Gas turbines used for compressors and power generation provide huge amounts of waste heat.  This can be converted to additional electrical power.

Organic Rankine Cycle

 

The Power Generation  TURBINE (turbogenerator) operates using the Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC). The Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) is similar to the cycle of a conventional steam turbine, except for the fluid that drives the turbine, which is a environmentally friendly low boiling point organic fluid which allow the system to run efficiently on low temperature heat sources to produce electricity in a wide range of power outputs.

 

The Cycle

 

The environmentally friendly organic working fluid is turned into vapor by application of a heat source in the evaporator. The organic fluid vapor expands in the turbine and is then condensed using a flow of water in a shell-and-tube heat exchanger (alternatively, ambient air can be used for cooling). The condensate is pumped back to the evaporator thus closing the thermodynamic cycle. Heating and cooling sources are not directly in contact with the working fluid nor with the turbine.

The condenser can use ground source geothermal and air cooled for added efficiency.

 

For high temperature applications such as Combined Heat and Power (CHP) biomass-powered boilers, high temperature thermal oil is used as a heat carrier and a regenerator is added, to further improve the cycle performance.

 

Advantages

 

a. High system efficiency

b. High turbine efficiency (up to 74 percent)

c. Low mechanical stress of the turbine, due to the low peripheral speed

d. Low turbine speed allowing the direct drive of the electric generator without reduction gear

e. No erosion of blades, due to the absence of moisture in the vapor nozzles

f. Long life

g. No operator required

h. Can be service by standard refrigerant technician

 

The system also has practical advantages, such as simple start-stop procedures, low noise operation, minimum maintenance requirements, and good part load performance.

 

Applications

 

a. Low enthalpy geothermal plants, number up small system modules - unlimited plant size

b. Combined Heat and Power (CHP) systems - use condenser cycle to produce hot water for heating, domestic, ice melting, or even through a secondary chiller for cooling

c. Heat recovery applications, such as foundry, process or waste water in oil re-injection wells

d. Solar applications

 

Modularity

 

The CHP ORC Turbine Generator consists of a single assembly, or a full CHP ORC system containing all the equipment required for the power skid to be operated (i.e. heat exchangers, piping, working fluid feed pump, turbine, electric generator, control and switch-gear). Larger units are composed of multiple modules, pre-assembled at the factory in optional shipping containers.

 

Because of that, units are easy to transport and to install, and they are easy to interface with the hot and cold sources on site. 

 

Since they are container mounted, you can stack and tie together horizontally, or vertically.  You can even use them on ships. 

Perfect for remote operations, like islands.

GENERAL POWER CALCULATIONS (Using R134a and R245fa as working fluid)

 

How do I figure out the amount of power I can generate from my waste heat ?  

 

Take your waste heat, in the form of Btu/hr and divide by 40,000 Btu (this is a general figure and can range from 30,000 btu to 50,000 btu).

 

For example:  Total waste heat 3,000,000 Btu / 40,000 Btu = 75 kWe / hr

Note:  3,000,000 btu (3,412 btu/kWt) = 879 kWthermal

 

 

If I have a hot liquid flow of around (100 C) 212 F, how do I calculate the amount of power I can generate ?   Take your hot liquid flow rate in gpm, and divide by 2-3.

 

For example:  Total waste heat (568 L) 150 gpm / 2 or 3 = 50 to 75 kW/hr

 

Why are the examples not totally exact ?  There are a great number of factors including type of refrigerant used, the temperature of the condenser flow water, etc. 

 

So we prefer you work with a range of possible output. 

 

We offer a fee based Engineering Program if you want a gauranteed performance.  Larger turbine systems are easier to model and predict.  Smaller turbine systems are more difficult to model.

HEAT RATE AND EFFICIENCY

 

Note:  If you have to pay for your heat or fuel, the CHP ORC process does not make any financial sense to install. 

 

CHP ORC is a bottoming cycle, and designed for waste heat (free heat).  As for supercritical CO2 Brayton Cycle, it is about the same or lower efficiency as

CHP ORC at or below 200 C.  Above 500 C The S CO2 cycle will start to have efficiencies from 40+ percent. This process needs funding to be fully developed.

 

Heat Rate:  In general waste heat is recovered via thermal oil, water or glycol solution. 

Our CHP ORC systems can use heat in the range of 80-140 C input heat.  If it is lower than 100 deg C, then figure on 40,000 BTU / kWe.  The heat rate is better as input heat temperature goes up and condenser cooling water goes down.  The smaller a system (1-10 kw) the heat rate is even higher.

 

Our standard system is the R 245fa (Honeywell Genetron) system which operates between 80-140 C within our parameters.  This represents 8-11 percent efficiency.  R245fa has proven to be the most efficient refrigerant in this heat range.

 

Input Fluid:  Using water, glycol or thermal oil (for higher temps) you can expect a flow rate of 2-3 gpm (7.6 to 11.4 liters/min) per rated kW.  So a 60 kW rated system needs around 150 gpm.  Expect a temperature drop of 15-20 C between the input and exit of the evaporator.

 

Condenser:  The standard systems use a water cooled condenser. 

 

Expect a temperature increase of 5-10 C from the input and exit water flow.  There are a few novel condenser designs which will allow a greater cooling rate, and lower water flow rate. 

 

These include ejector cooling, Zeolite pellet condenser design, and using our new counterflow turbopump, which uses the turbine power to spin a turbopump that cools the exiting gas from the turbine as a pre-heater.

 

There are also nano-fluid additives which may increase heat transfer efficiency.

GENERAL ORC INFORMATION

 

Our Organic Rankine Cycle (CHP ORC) Infinity Turbines can use any thermal fluid to power the system evaporator (which in turn evaporates the high molecular mass fluid - an environmentally friendly refrigerant).  As for your waste heat, we recommend you run that through a heat exchanger that has thermal oil as the fluid, which we can then run into our system.

 

How it works: The organic Rankine cycle has three steps -

 

(a) Your heat is provided in the form of thermal liquid (water, glycol or oil).  If you already have heat exchanger equipment, then you can just use water, glycol, or a better alternative is thermal oil. 

 

If you don't have a heat exchanger to capture your waste heat, then we recommend a hot air to thermal oil exchanger (they are available everywhere).  The source of the heat can be geothermal, engine waste heat, gas turbine heat, solar collector, industrial waste heat, steam, etc.  Your heat source in the form of a liquid then goes through the evaporator heat exchanger. 

 

This is where the working fluid for the CHP ORC turbine gets vaporized and pressurized.  The heat source should be at least 80 deg C.  Once it passes through the evaporator, it comes out at about 10-15 deg C cooler.  This can then be used for additional process heat (CHP hot water or chiller).

 

(b)  The working fluid for the CHP ORC closed system is pressurized by the evaporator, then is expanded by our turbogenerator.  This produces the shaft horsepower to turn the generator and produce electricity.  Of course, you can have the turbine power a generator, pump, or whatever you require.  

 

(c)  The expanded working fluid then goes through a condenser to return the vapor to a liquid state.  The condenser requires some method of cooling fluid, typically water which is provided from a cooling tower, or ground based geothermal (the ground has a constant temperature of 15 deg C or less temperature).  The liquid is then pumped back into the evaporator unit to complete the cycle.  Only environmentally friendly working fluid is used in the system.

 

 

So, the basic system has a evaporator, turbogenerator unit and condenser

The temperature difference between the evaporator and condenser heat and cooling flows must be at least 125 deg F, or about 65 deg C (difference).  

 

Our heat rate is about 40,000 BTU / kilowatt electricity which is about 5-11 percent efficient. This system is geared towards waste heat - so it's free power.

 

It's possible to use steam or steam condensed (condensate) hot water to put into the evaporator (boiler) to run the system if that is available on site.

To run completed unit, you will need to provide hot fluid (water, oil, etc.) to run through the evaporator heat exchanger.  You will also need condenser cold fluid, which may be provided by an air cooling tower, ground source geothermal, or cold water from another source.

 

These units come without working fluid (refrigerant).  The buyer will need to purchase refrigerant and install the refrigerant at time of equipment installation.

 

BIOMASS ENERGY - WOOD ENERGY:

 

Our biomass systems are custom built.

 

To quote any full biomass system, we will have to do an Engineering Study (fee based).

 

In general, our heat rate is 40,000 btu/kWe.  That means that you need to input 40,000 btu/hr of energy from wood or biomass for each kilowatt of electricity produced output.

 

Typical biomass, depending on moisture content, will range from 4,000 btu/lb for moist and up to 8,600 btu/lb for dry biomass.

 

This means that there are about 17,000,000 btu per ton for dry wood waste and only about 8,000,000 btu per ton for green or moist wood waste.

 

So the amount of wood waste needed to fire a biomass boiler, will depending primarily on the moisture content.

 

While you can use a variety of wood boilers, we recommend a batch fed, top fed system which eliminates the fuel (wood waste) handling.

 

In general, if you have to pay for the fuel source (wood waste), then these types of installations don't make any financial sense, since ORC is really designed for waste heat and only 6-10 percent cycle efficiency.

 

The benefit of a CHPORC system is that you do not need a full time attendant, like you do with a steam system. 

This is a code currently in the USA for steam systems above 15 psi pressure.
