The turbogenerator uses the hot temperature thermal oil to pre-heat and vaporize a suitable organic
working fluid in the evaporator (834). The organic fluid vapor powers the turbine (45), which is
directly coupled to the electric generator through an elastic coupling. The exhaust vapor flows through
the regenerator (59) where it heats the organic liquid (28). The vapor is then condensed in the
condenser (cooled by the water flow) (961). The organic fluid liquid is finally pumped (12) to the
regenerator and then to the evaporator, thus completing the sequence of operations in the closed-loop
circuit

ORC unit
ORC module is only a portion of the waste heat
recovery system
Specific investment cost depends on several
factors, most importantly the ORC size, but also
specific applications, Clients requirements and
needs, cooling system, etc.
