摘要：Our thermodynamic study indicated that low temperature power cycle using amine-CO2fluid can obtain the performance equal to or higher than that of the current organic Rankine cycle. We designed a 10 kW test equipment. We set high temperature heat source is hot water at the temperature of 90°C and the flow rate of 8,200kg/h, which is a coolant from a gas engine. The heat and mass balance of the equipment was calculated thermodynamically. The result showed the power of 10.5kW and the system efficiency of 7.3 per cent at the the amine – CO2fluid flow rate of 1,000kg/h, and the turbine expansion ratio of 4.8. The preliminary estimation shows as follows. The diameter and rotational speed of the turbine blade are 0.115m and 54,400min-1, respectively. The number, width, and length of the recuperator plates are 20, 117mm, and 835mm, respectively. The height and cross sectional area of the absorption bed are 0.35m and 0.027m2, respectively.
