Performance analysis of an organic Rankine cycle with internal heat exchanger having zeotropic working fluid

In this study, performance of a 50 kW organic Rankine cycle (ORC) with internal heat exchanger (IHE) having R245fa/R152a zeotropic refrigerant with various compositions was investigated. The IHE could reduce heat rate at the ORC evaporator and better cycle efficiency could be obtained. The zeotropic...
