Abstract

Due to pollution and limited fossil fuels, renewable sources can be considered the main alternative of these resources. Generally, the organic Rankine Cycle(ORC) uses renewable Low Grade Heat Source(LGHS) such as solar, geothermal and etc. In this study a novel configuration of ORC has been proposed to improve the efficiency and power generation using both of an ejector and a regenerator. In this cycle an ejector with a regenerator have been integrated in ORC. Also a dual-stage evaporator has been used. Steam from the second stage evaporator is entered to ejector as the primary fluid and after the pressure decrement tends to increase of the suction of the secondary fluid from the steam turbine outlet. This modification tends to the higher power generation. Also steam enters to the regenerator prior to the ejector and in this way a part of energy of needed for the first stage evaporator is supplied and the efficiency is increased. For thermodynamic modeling a code was developed in the Engineering Equation Solver(EES) software. In addition different working fluids were examined to evaluate of the thermodynamic performance of the proposed cycle. The results show that the efficiency of the cycle increased 17.5% compared to the ORC in the best case(depending on the working fluid). To evaluate of the thermodynamic parameters on the efficiency and output power, parametric study was done. The fluid with the highest efficiency was R245fa.

Abstract

Furnaces in refinery and petrochemical processes are major consumers of energy. The most important factors for the controlling the energy consumption of the furnace can be divided into three main groups The first group includes the potential savings without cost or low cost, such as adjusting air – fuel ratio in the burner and pressure control into the furnace, The second group includes the potential savings with medium cost such as insulating body, and the third group includes the potential savings with high investment such as heat recovery from the exhaust flue. In this paper, the thermal energy savings potential on the 4 fixed- furnaces in the Loabiran companies are investigated and calculated that savings potential of adjusting air – fuel ratio in the burner is 165,973,500 Rials in the year, controlling pressure inside the furnace 95,822,300 Rials in the year, body insulation 622,167,700 Rials and recycled flue gases 929,762,400 Rials in the year. Also Loabiran companies uses regenerator that is a periodic heat recovery system to preheat the incoming air. This will result in annual savings for the daily production of 20 tons of frit, are 3,577,000,000 Rials.
