Abstract
In the paper presented are definitions of specific indicators of power
which characterize the operation of the organic Rankine cycle (ORC) plant.
These quantities have been presented as function of evaporation
temperature for selected working fluids of ORC installation. In the paper
presented also is the procedure for selection of working fluid with the
view of obtaining maximum power. In the procedure of selection of working
fluid the mentioned above indicators are of primary importance. In order
to obtain maximum power there ought to be selected such working fluids
which evaporate close to critical conditions. The value of this indicator
increases when evaporation enthalpy decreases and it is known that the
latent heat of evaporation decreases with temperature and reaches a value
of zero at the critical point.
