Abstract

The working fluid thermal stability is one of the crucial features of an effective organic Rankine cycle. Hexamethyldisiloxane (MM - C6H18OSi2) and octamethyltrisiloxane (MDM - C8H24O2Si3) are siloxane fluids currently exploited in high temperature organic Rankine cycles. However, data about their thermal stability are scarce or absent in literature. This manuscript presents a study of their behavior and decomposition at operating temperatures in the range 270–420°C.
