Abstract (en)
A cascaded Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) system (20) includes a topping cycle (22) and a bottoming cycle (24) in thermal communication with said topping cycle (22) through a condenser/evaporator (32) in which a bottoming cycle working fluid is first evaporated and then superheated and a topping cycle working fluid is first desuperheated and then condensed such that a percentage of total heat transfer from the topping cycle fluid that occurs during a saturated condensation is equal to or less than a percentage of total heat transfer to the bottoming cycle fluid that occurs during a saturated evaporation.
