Modeling and Experimental Investigation of an Oil-Free Microcompressor-Turbine Unit for an Organic Rankine Cycle Driven Heat Pump

Jürg Alexander Schiffmann, Jonathan Demierre, Antonio Rubino

Domestic heating and cooling will more and more have to rely on heat pumps (HPs) in order to support a more rational use of primary energy consumption. The HP market is mainly dominated by electrically driven vapor compression cycles and by thermally drive ...

Experimental investigation of a Thermally Driven Heat Pump based on a double Organic Rankine Cycle and an oil-free Compressor-Turbine Unit

Jürg Alexander Schiffmann, Daniel Favrat, Jonathan Demierre, Johannes Wegele

This paper presents the experimental investigation of a concept of Thermally Driven Heat Pump (TDHP), based on the coupling of a vapor compression heat pump cycle and an Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC). The studied concept uses a single stage centrifugal compr ...

Theoretical and Experimental Study of a Thermally Driven Heat Pump Based on a Double Organic Rankine Cycle

Jonathan Demierre

Nowadays, one of the main alternatives for a more rational use of energy in heating applications is the heat pumping technologies. The market is dominated by two kinds of heat pump systems: the electrically driven vapor compression heat pumps (EHP), which ...

Prototype of a thermally driven heat pump based on integrated Organic Rankine Cycles (ORC)

Daniel Favrat, Jonathan Demierre, Samuel Henchoz

The concept studied in this work is a low power ORC-ORC heat pump system (providing about 20 kW heat at the condenser) and that is composed of an ORC power cycle driving a reversed ORC heat pump cycle, both cycles using the same fluid. The centrifugal comp ...

Prototype of a thermally driven heat pump based on integrated organic Rankine cycles (ORC)

Daniel Favrat, Jonathan Demierre, Samuel Henchoz

The concept studied in this work is a low power ORC-ORC system (about 20 kW heat at the condenser) which is composed of an ORC engine cycle driving a reversed ORC heat pump cycle, both using the same fluid. The radial compressor and turbine are directly co ...

THEORETICAL STUDY OF THERMALLY DRIVEN HEAT PUMPS BASED ON DOUBLE ORGANIC RANKINE CYCLE: WORKING FLUID COMPARISON AND OFF-DESIGN SIMULATION

Daniel Favrat, Jonathan Demierre

This study deals with a type of thermally driven heat pumps that consists of a reverse Rankine heat pump cycle, the compressor of which is driven by the turbine of a supercritical Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC). The application is residential heating (domesti ...

Low power ORC-ORC systems for heat pump applications

Daniel Favrat, Jonathan Demierre

This paper presents a study of a residential (about 20kW) ORC-ORC (Organic Rankine Cycle) thermally driven heat pump. The system works with three different temperature levels similar to absorption heat pumps. The proposed concept is a hermetic system using ...

Can steam play a role in low to medium power from low temperature heat?

Daniel Favrat, Jonathan Demierre, François Maréchal

Rankine cycles for low to medium power and low temperature heat using water as working fluid, were almost written off. The main arguments speaking against them are reviewed in this paper and the conceptual design of the equipment entirely revisited. An adv ...
