Abstract (en)

Organic Rankine cycle (300, 400, 500) comprising:- an evaporator (1) where the pressurized fluid is heated, vaporized and brought into subcritical or supercritical conditions using the heat of a source;- a turbine (2) where the fluid while expanding provides the useful work of the cycle;- at least one pump (5, 5 ') where the liquid is brought from the pressure of at least one condenser (4, 4') to the evaporator pressure (1);- a pre-heater (6), which using the same source supplies heat to the working fluid, bringing it to a temperature close to the vaporization temperature,said organic Rankine cycle (300, 400, 500) further comprising- a first recuperator (3) which receives a first portion of organic fluid vapor extracted from the turbine (2), and is connected to a first condenser (4), by means of a first circuit (10) at medium pressure;- at least one second recuperator (3 ', 403', 404 ') which receives a second portion organic fluid vapor leaving the turbine (2) and is connected to a second condenser (4'), by means of a second low pressure circuit (11), said organic Rankine cycle (300, 400, 500) being characterized by at least one further pre-heater (301, 301') positioned in parallel with one or both of said first and second recuperator (3, 3').
