Safety aspects of Organic Rankine Cycles (ORC) with combustible working fluid and sub-ambient condenser pressure
ORCs are often designed with the lower pressure limited by the ambient pressure, to avoid air leaking into the working fluid. Safely lowering this limit will be beneficial for power-production efficiency. First, cycle operations with air inleak are investigated. Exemplary cases with n-pentane and be...
