[en] An experimental study is carried out on an ORC recovering heat from hot air at a temperature ranging
from 150 to 200°C. The expander used for this study is a volumetric scroll expander. The working
fluid selected is R123 because of its high efficiency in ORC applications.
A model of each component of the cycle is proposed and validated. The whole cycle is simulated in
order to have a good understanding of its behavior under different working conditions. The model is
then used to optimize the cycle, starting from a basic case and improving it in a realistic way to
evaluate the system potential.
