Comprehensive evaluation index and performance analysis of organic Rankine cycle system considering environment impact
In order to consider thermal economic performance and environmental impact of an organic Rankine cycle(ORC)system
the exergy parameter is used to quantify the environment influence of working fluids and composite performance indicator "comprehensive exergy efficiency integrated environmental influence" is proposed
which combines the environmental effect and cycle thermal economic performance. At thermal source of 150℃
the performance of working fluids of subcritical and transcritical ORC systems is evaluated by the composite performance indicator. Results show that R123 and R32 are suitable for subcritical and transcritical ORC systems respectively when considering the cycle thermal economic performance and refrigerant environmental impact. Although the net power output of transcritical ORC system is higher
the composite performance indicator shows that due to its high circulation evaporation pressure the leakage of working fluids increases. Therefore
subcritical ORC system is a better choice with considering the environmental protection and circulation performance.
