Abstract (en)

The present invention relates to the conversion of industrial waste heat, and particularly to a conversion system (30) for converting waste heat from an industrial waste heat source (7) to shaft power. A conversion system (30) for converting waste heat from an industrial waste heat source (7) to shaft power is provided, the conversion system (30) having a closed Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) system (16), comprising an evaporator (1) for evaporating an ORC working fluid and heated by the waste heat, a turbine (2) driven by the evaporated ORC working fluid and connected to a shaft (3), and a condenser (5), fluidly interconnected between the turbine (2) and the evaporator (1), wherein the ORC working fluid is organic, non-toxic, and non-fluorinated.
