EFFECTIVENESS OF OPERATION OF ORGANIC RANKINE CYCLE INSTALLATION APPLIED IN THE LIQUID NATURAL GAS REGASIFICATION PLANT

An analysis of the operation of an Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) installation heated by a low-temperature heat source is presented for the case where a condenser of a working fluid is cooled by a liquid of ultralow temperature. For this purpose, the process of regasifi cation of liquid natural gas (LNG) is considered. In the process, the condensation heat of the working fluid in ORC is taken by the LNG evaporating subsequently (i.e., undergoing regasifi cation). The paper presents the schematic of this installation and its application, as well as the results of calculations on the basis of the analysis in terms of the power and effi ciency. In the analysis, organic fluids used in the ORC as working ones have been selected
