- Although waste heat to power conversion could play a key role in reducing CO2 emissions from mid-to-large scale internal combustion engines, producing cost-effective Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) systems remains a challenge. This paper is significant because it demonstrated a new approach for a high efficiency ORC system by optimising the heat source setup, utilisation of exhaust gases, working fluids, process operating conditions and heat recovery platform. This resulted in a reduced specific system exergy cost of 20% and an improved heat-to-power conversion of 12.5%, representing a key outcome of a £637k Innovate UK programme (101566).
