Mathematical modeling of a binary ORC operated with solar collectors. Case study—Ecuador by Daniel Chuquin-Vasco, Cristina Calderón-Tapia, Nelson Chuquin-Vasco, María Núñez-Moreno, Diana Aguirre-Ruiz, Vanesa G. Lo-Iacono-Ferreira

“…After conducting all the respective analyses in the thermal module, while considering the yearly average meteorological data of ten years (2012–2022), it was determined that due to its meteorological conditions, ambient temperature (14.7 ℃) and solar beam radiation (184.5 W/m²), the efficiency of the collectors in the Andean region of Ecuador is higher. This efficiency is further enhanced by using Therminol VP-1 as the thermal fluid, as it possesses better thermodynamic properties than the other fluids analyzed. …”
