Analysis of the backpressure effect of an Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) evaporator on the exhaust line of a turbocharged heavy duty diesel power generator for marine applications
Waste heat recovery on internal combustion engines is studied. The backpressure effect of the Organic Rankine Cycle boiler has been evaluated. Three different state-of-the art turbocharging technologies have been assessed. Six different fluids for medium-high temperature recovery have been considered. A reduction up to 10% in fuel consumption can be achieved.
