Multi-objective optimization of Rankine cycle using R245fa/pentane based on liquid-vapor separation
Organic Rankine cycle (ORC) is considered as a promising heat-to-power technology for low grade heat recovery. The thermal efficiency of ORC is low and investment cost of equipment is high as temperature of heat sources is low. Low thermal efficiency results in high investment cost of equipment. This work focuses on cutting costs and increasing power generation of ORC and proposes a liquid-separation condensation and two-stage evaporation zeotropic ORC system. Multi-objective optimization using NSGA-Ⅱ is conducted for the BORC
DSORC
STORC and TLORC using zeotropic (R245fa/pentane) or pure fluids (R245fa and pentane). The optimization results indicate that:the net power output of BZORC is 5.6% and 14.0% higher than that of R245fa and pentane when using LINMAP method optimization; LINMAP point shows that the net power output of DSORC is 1.2% and 6.3% higher than that of R245fa and pentane
respectively; Among these four cycle configurations
Pareto Front shows the SIC in TLORC using R245fa/pentane is the lowest
about lower by 5.4% than BORC
while the net power output is 4.86% higher than BZORC.
