MICROCOGENERATIONÂ
ORGANIC RANKINE CYCLE
MY PROJECT
A SYSTEM ABLE TO PRODUCE HEAT AND TOGETHER ELECTRICITY!
After 35 years in works as a frigorist in industrial and commercial repairs,
After more than 5 years in research and development of the project " microcogeneration"
After more than 1000 experiments made on various types of turbines, expenders, boilers, pumps
We have finded that there is no machines in the industry that can be used in our case
( there are only very powerful machines)
We have developed a machine (turbine with alternator, boiler, pump)
And now we are able to produce a complete and functional microcogeneration machine with power from 100 wats to 5000 wats electric
Maybe we are the first in Italy
We have achieved a sufficient results to be able to realize systems with the use of working fluids both with organic fluids ( look the italian video)
These machines are small compared to those already on the market, they are suitable for heating and together produce electricity (for huts, shetters)
With these machines it is possible to heat and together produce electricity using the same energy source ( wood, wood chips, gasoil, gas)
The thermal efficiency is about 75 - 80 % and the electrical output is about 1-15% based on the avaible energy, temperature , pressure , working fluid
For example :
For our prototypes with a consumption of about 10000 calories by flame
The thermal yield is 8000 calories of avaible heat = yield 80%
The electric yield is 400 watt of electricity available = yield 4%
This machine is like a minipower plant that produces heat and electricity together
Yields can be greatly improved , we are only at the beginning, but we can say that microcogeneration also works with modest yields, sufficient to justify such machinery.
At the moment we are able to produce machinary but with high costs
a complete wood burning machine by 30 kw thermal and 2,5 kw electrical would cost € 25000 $ 27916,26
But with an industrial production , the costs can be halved.
