small size Organic Rankine Cycle (<10KW) design

[Leonardo TD]

I wonder if anyone have try to design small ORC with turbine capacity less than 10KW with R134-A?

I try to design one but wonder what is the optimum operation pressure for the turbine.

If we use air cooler as condenser so the temperature & pressure of the refrigerant have some limitation to prevent cavitation in the pump

Thank you.

Thx.. anway, the design of the machine usually not being utilized in an area which have high ambient temperature >30C which make the condensing method & efficiency poor.
