Abstract

The Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) is a promising technology to convert low temperature heat to electrical power. It utilizes organic substances, which are often refrigerants, as working fluids. With the groups of hydrofluoroolefines (HFO) and hydrochlorofluoroolefines (HCFO), a new generation of refrigerants has been introduced within the last years. These refrigerants have a significantly smaller Global Warming Potential (GWP) compared to the currently dominating fluids, which are within the group of hydrofluorocarbons (HFC). A typical representative of HFC fluids for ORC applications is R245fa, with an GWP value of 1030. According to the thermophysical properties, promising low-GWP alternatives for this fluid are R1233zd(E) and R1224yd(Z) with a three orders of magnitude lower GWP value.
