Organic Rankine Cycle Technology Workshop
DATE
7 April 2020
VENUE
City, University of London
Room EM01
Northampton Square
London EC1V 0HB
Metapower is delighted to be collaborating with City, University of London, one of the premier ORC and expander R&D centres in the UK to offer a joint ORC workshop in this highly active field.
Course Overview
This is a one-day course for industry engineers and professionals, academic and researcher scholars that provides a concise introduction to Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) waste heat recovery technology, its principles, applications and state-of-the-art.
The subject is highly topical and of interest to the industry as well as to academia working in this field and is applicable to a very wide range of centralised and distributed power and propulsion applications including industrial heat recovery, biomass, solar thermal, geothermal and transportation (automotive, marine and rail). ORC systems are emerging as a highly promising clean energy technology that enables significant fuel consumption/carbon dioxide emissions reduction.
Workshop sessions will cover the characteristics, design, and performance of the principal ORC components. Advanced waste heat recovery configurations and the current state-of-the-art in systems are, also, analysed. Emphasis is also, placed on problems confronting select power and propulsion industries today, including the need for fuel economy and reductions in carbon dioxide emissions, and how waste heat recovery is shaped by and can also, influence these demands.
PROGRAM OUTLINE
-
Introduction to ORC Technology
-
ORC Heat Exchange Component Analysis
-
ORC Expander Analysis
-
ORC Applications and State-of-the-Art
COURSE CERTIFICATE
Upon completion of the programme, participants will be awarded a Digital Certificate by Metapower Limited.
Who Should Attend
-
Engineers in the automotive industries as well as other transportation industries (e.g. rail, marine), as well as power generation industry professionals who will gain an extensive understanding of ORC technologies, design and performance.
-
This course is an excellent briefing for engineers new to this field, while established engineers will gain fresh insight and appreciation of the state-of-the-art.
-
Managers and sales personnel in these fields will gain insight into the performance, analysis and future direction of waste heat recovery systems.
-
Academics and researchers who would like to expand into ORC technology as new field or are in the early stages of their involvement and would like a jump-start to this activity.
Materials
Participants receive an electronic copy of all workshop notes and an electronic copy of the book “Automotive Exhaust Emissions and Energy Recovery” edited by Apostolos Pesyridis. This book is an edited work with a number of articles introducing and describing further developments in this field as well as the field of emissions mitigation and control technologies.
Learning Objectives
-
Develop an understanding of the operational and design principles of ORC technology.
-
Learn about the areas of application of ORC technology and the principal issues associated with each.
-
Understand the operating characteristics and design issues of the principal components of ORCs.
-
Understand the importance of working fluids, their thermo-chemical characteristics and selection of the appropriate fluids for ORC applications.
-
Learn about the state-of-the-art in ORC technology from the point of view of performance, which will influence the development of the industry in the coming years.
