Recently a novel cycle named organic flash cycle (OFC) has been proposed which has improved potential for power generation from low-temperature heat sources. This study carries out thermodynamic performance analysis of OFC using various working fluids for recovery of low-grade heat sources in the form of sensible energy. Special attention is focused on the optimum flash temperature at which the exergy efficiency has the maximum value. Under the optimal conditions with respect to the flash temperature, the thermodynamic performances of important system variables including mass flow ratio, separation ratio, heat addition, specific volume flow rate at turbine exit, and exergy efficiency are thoroughly investigated. Results show that the exergy efficiency has a peak value with respect to the flash temperature and the optimum working fluid which shows the best exergy efficiency varies with the operating conditions.

Recently proposed organic flash cycle (OFC) was shown to potentially improve power generation using low grade heat source. In this paper, a thermodynamic performance is carried out for a modified OFC employed double expansions. Effects of the selection of working fluid and the important system parameters such as the temperatures in flash evaporators on the system performance were extensively investigated. Results showed that the system performances are strongly influenced with the system parameters and selection of the working fluid, and the power generation can be increased compared to the basic OFC.

최근 들어 작동유체가 액체 상태를 유지하며 흡열 과정이 일어나는 증기동력사이클인 유기플래시 사이클이 제안되었다. 본 연구에서는 재생을 이용한 수정 유기플래시 사이클을 제안하고 현열 형태의 저온 열원을 사용하는 시스템의 열역학적 성능 해석을 수행하였으며 작동유체나 플래시 온도가 순생산 동력이나 열효율 등 시스템의 성능에 미치는 영향을 체계적으로 분석하고 논의하였다. 해석 결과는 시스템의 순생산동력은 플래시 온도에 대해 최대값을 갖지만 열효율은 플래시 온도에 따라 상승함을 보여준다. 재생 사이클은 기존의 유기플래시 사이클에 비해 시스템 열효율이 높고 저온 열원의 동력 변환에 있어 성능 개선을 위한 잠재성을 보여준다.
