Description
A unique solar thermal electric system is proposed and tested in the present study. In this system, an organic working fluid, which is suitable for a temperature range appropriate for solar energy, is adopted. We call this system as “solar organic Rankine cycle system” (SORCS). In order to improve the thermal efficiency by using solar energy, a displacement-type scroll expander and compound parabolic concentrator (CPC) solar collector are used. This system consists of very simple components that are similar to the ones used in an air conditioner and is very cost effective. The present paper reports on the experimental results of the scroll expander unit and the practical operation of the proposed SORCS under actual solar radiation input. The total thermal efficiency of the present SORCS attains 7% (42% when cooling water is used for the cogeneration system).
