 INTRODUCTION

The Rankine Cycle is a thermodynamic cycle that converts heat into work, constituting what is called a power cycle.
The Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) is essentially a Rankine cycle, where the water steam has been replaced with an organic fluid. In
the ORC it is possible to use lower temperatures with high efficiencies, allowing extracting heat from the exhaust of internal combustion
engines, from other source of waste heat or any process with a temperature as low as 150 ºC, for example in geothermal energy.
The working principle of the ORC is:
1. The organic liquid fluid is pumped to the evaporator, where changes to gas.
2. It passes through a turbine.
3. Finally, it is converted into liquid with the condenser and the cycle starts again.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The Computer Controlled Organic Rankine Cycle Unit, “TORC”, allows the student to study the complete process and the components of
an organic Rankine Cycle, as well as the main variables that take part in the process. The working fluid (coolant R-245fa) is evaporated by
applying a heat source. First of all, the coolant is impelled by a computer controlled pump through a plate exchanger (preheater) through
which the tap water heated in the cycle condenser flows in countercurrent.
Then, the organic working fluid passes through two plate exchangers that constitute the
cycle evaporator, through which superheated water to 150 ºC (heat source) flows impelled
by a pump.
Superheated water is generated in a boiler with a heating element (resistor), which can be
controlled through the computer with a PID control, indicating the setpoint to which the
water wants to be heated. The boiler has a safety level switch.
After the heat is transferred, the superheated water returns to the boiler at the outlet of the
second exchanger.
There is a purge valve in this close circuit of superheated water, a bypass circuit and
purgers to remove the air from the circuit.
The organic fluid steam is expanded in the turbine when it reaches the working conditions,
generating an electrical power which is measured. TORC detail
At the outlet of the turbine the organic fluid is condensed by means of a water flow in a plate exchanger.
The tap water heated in the organic working fluid condensing process is directed to the preheater to take advantage of the waste heat. The
condensate is collected in an intermediate tank, with two level actuators. When the level is enough, the organic fluid is pumped backwards
again and the thermodynamic cycle is closed this way.
The cooling and heating sources are not directly in contact with the working fluid or the turbine.
This Computer Controlled Unit is supplied with the EDIBON Computer Control System (SCADA), and includes: The unit itself + a
Control Interface Box + a Data Acquisition Board + Computer Control, Data Acquisition and Data Management Software Packages, for
controlling the process and all parameters involved in the process.

(EDIBON Student Labsoft - ESL-SOF). Both are interconnected so that the teacher knows at any moment what is the theoretical and practical knowledge
of the students.
- ECM-SOF. EDIBON Classroom Manager (Instructor Software).
ECM-SOF is the application that allows the Instructor to register students, manage and assign tasks for workgroups, create own content to carry out
Practical Exercises, choose one of the evaluation methods to check the Student knowledge and monitor the progression related to the planned tasks for
individual students, workgroups, units, etc...so the teacher can know in real time the level of understanding of any student in the classroom.
Innovative features:
• User Data Base Management.
• Administration and assignment of Workgroup, Task and Training sessions.
• Creation and Integration of Practical Exercises and Multimedia Resources.
• Custom Design of Evaluation Methods.
• Creation and assignment of Formulas & Equations.
• Equation System Solver Engine.
• Updatable Contents.
