Abstract: This study investigates the 4E performance of small-scale (<100 kW), low-temperature (<179 °C) Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) technology, comparing two distinct configurations using different working fluids and heat sources. The work utilizes experimental methods to analyse the efficiency of the ORC systems, focusing on variables such as evaporation temperature and pressure drop across the heat exchanger. Various working fluids and heat sources are tested to evaluate their impact on performance using CoolProp libraries.
