Research Progress on Application of Organic Rankine Circular Working Fluids and Theoretical Performance Analysis of HFOs
Fluorinated working fluids are indispensable working fluids in Organic Rankine Cycle(ORC)systems,which are mainly hydrofluoroalkane compounds,but they can cause global warming,so there is an urgent need to develop environmentally friendly working fluids with similar performance.In this paper,the current status of the use of ORC system working fluid is introduced,and the research progress of ORC system working fluid is reviewed.In addition,the theoretical performance of ORC systems was studied on five work-ing fluids:HFO-1234ze(E),HCFO-1224yd,HFO-1336mzz(E),HFO-1336mzz(Z)and HCFO-1233zd(E),and the results showed that HFO-1234ze(Z)and HCFO-1233zd(E)had better system performance than HFC-245fa.
