Pratt & Whitney is committed to providing clean, efficient and reliable power within the renewable energy market. Its Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) product line, developed by Pratt & Whitney Power Systems (PWPS), harnesses heat to generate electricity from a variety of sources including biomass, geothermal, reciprocating engines, industrial waste heat, incinerators, and oil and gas fields.
PWPS developed the PureCycle® power system (280 kW) for low-to-moderate temperature heat streams, particularly in the smaller (1 MW or lower) size range. Turboden, a PWPS company, is an ORC manufacturer based in Italy with more than 30 years of experience. It manufactures ORC product lines suitable for moderate and higher temperature heat streams, particularly in the larger (1 MW – 10 MW, and up) size range.
The Organic Rankine Cycle Technology Delivers a Variety of Unique Performance Characteristics:
- Ease of installation and maintenance
- Fully integrated,assembled, modular, and skidmounted packages that can be sized to match the resource and rapidly deployed according to need
- 100% remote monitoring and operation
- Variety of working fluids available
- ORC turbines are built with 30 years of industry experience and, in some applications, derived from a standard centrifugal vapor compressor used in today’s water-cooled chillers
Turboden ORC Power Systems
Turboden, a PWPS company, provides ORC units that can operate utilizing medium to high temperature heat sources (120° C to more than 350° C, 250° F to more than 660° F) in a variety of applications. ORC product size varies from 400 kW to 5 MW for standard heat recovery and combined heat and power (CHP) units, and higher for utility scale geothermal applications. Configurations with up to 10 MW of capacity also are available.
PureCycle® Power System
The PureCycle® power system solution is built with the proven technology and components of commercial centrifugal chillers, ensuring product quality and reliability. This system operates with a non-flammable working fluid refrigerant called R245fa. The PureCycle power system provides a low-maintenance, cost-effective option, which creates revenue, reduces process cost and supports an intelligent energy strategy.
