    Energy Engineering, Vol.122, No.4, pp. 1443-1468, 2025, DOI:10.32604/ee.2025.060113 - 31 March 2025

    Abstract Amidst the global push for decarbonization, solar-powered Organic Rankine Cycle (SORC) systems are gaining significant attention. The small-scale Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) systems have enhanced environmental adaptability, improved system flexibility, and achieved diversification of application scenarios. However, the power consumption ratio of the working fluid pump becomes significantly larger relative to the total power output of the system, adversely impacting overall system efficiency. This study introduces an innovative approach by incorporating a vapor-liquid ejector into the ORC system to reduce the pump work consumption within the ORC. The thermo-economic models for both the traditional ORC… More >

    Thermo-Economic Performance of Geothermal Driven High-Temperature Flash Tank Vapor Injection Heat Pump System: A Comparison Study

    Huashan Li1, Xiaoshuang Zhao1,2, Sihao Huang1,2, Lingbao Wang1, Jiongcong Chen1,*

    Energy Engineering, Vol.120, No.8, pp. 1817-1835, 2023, DOI:10.32604/ee.2023.027668 - 05 June 2023

    Abstract Process heating constitutes a significant share of final energy consumption in the industrial sector around the world. In this paper, a high-temperature heat pump (HTHP) using flash tank vapor injection technology (FTVI) is proposed to develop low-temperature geothermal source for industrial process heating with temperature above 100°C. With heat sink output temperatures between 120°C and 150°C, the thermo-economic performance of the FTVI HTHP system using R1234ze(Z) as refrigerant is analyzed and also compared to the single-stage vapor compression (SSVC) system by employing the developed mathematical model. The coefficient of performance (COP), exergy efficiency (ηexe), net present… More >
