Popis: Waste heat recovery represents a promising way to improve the utilisation of primary energy of modern internal combustion engines in order to increase overall efficiency. In thermodynamic analyses so-called Organic Rankine Cycles (ORC) have proven to be particularly suited for this application. The implementation of an ORC system in an automotive application requires new development of key system components necessitated by the low thermal power loss and the small installation space. In addition, a powerful tool for evaluation and optimisation of the ORC system components is required since automobile manufacturers propose market introduction of automotive ORC systems in 2018. Providing experimental validation options is highly relevant. As a consequence, Kratzer Automation AG has designed and built an ORC component test bench for experimental investigations within the framework of the development of an expansion machine for the utilisation of an automotive waste energy recovery system at the TFD of Leibniz University Hanover.
