Abstract (en)

[origin: US2010281864A1] An ORC system configured to limit temperature of a working fluid below a threshold temperature is provided. The ORC system includes a heat source configured to provide waste heat fluid. The ORC system also includes a heat exchanger coupled to the heat source, wherein the heat exchanger includes multiple external or internal enhancement features. The external enhancement features are configured to reduce a first heat transfer coefficient between the working fluid and the waste heat fluid from the heat source, external to the heat exchanger. The internal enhancement features are configured to increase a second heat transfer coefficient between the working fluid and the waste heat fluid from a heat source, internal to the heat exchanger.
