Figure 2 – Principle diagram for a bottoming or waste heat recovery cycle. Waste heat from the exhaust of an internal combustion engine is used to generate additional mechanical power via an external combustion engine (i.e. via a heat recovery steam generator and a steam engine system). The total power of this subsystem exceeds the power generated by the ICE.
2.2 Expander types
To convert heat to mechanical work some type of expander has to be utilized. Different
kinds of expanders are suitable concerning efficiency and mechanical aspects, depending
on the application, i.e. power range. Generally there is a characteristic optimum
peripheral velocity (tip speed) u (or mean piston velocity for reciprocating machines), for
every type of positive displacement machine, determined by their inherent leakage and
throttling losses [7]. This optimal tip speed is fairly independent of the machine size and
virtually constant for a uniform specific type of machine. Also for turbo (dynamic)
machines there is a fairly size independent optimum tip speed, in this case primarily
determined by vane geometry (the “specific speed” parameter for turbo machines) [4].
Thus, from the kinematic relation nDu �� S , the optimal shaft speed n becomes
dependent of the machine size (rotor diameter) D (Figure 3).
Figure 3 – Optimal shaft speed and volume flow relations for positive displacement and turbo machines. Power scale valid for air compression duty (after [4]). As seen, the closest match on shaft speed in applications such as the automotive application corresponds to the optimal shaft speed of piston machines.
o A category of machine is characterized by an opWmal Wp speed (m/s) fairly independent of its size (Persson, 1990).
o Turbines operate at larger Wp speed than displacement machines.

Due to the liquid to be expected inside the expansion machine, screw expan-ders the functional principle and de-scribing parameters of which will be presented in the following, are parti-cularly suitable for these applications. With the help of basic design variants, the properties of these fluid energy machines are demonstrated and the systematic and targeted procedure for their design will be described.
Functioning and parameters
Screw expanders are displacement machines without clearance volume, the working chambers of which are formed by the tooth gaps of two he-lically toothed gears, the rotors. The volume of a working chamber depen-ding on the rotation angle is exempla-rily demonstrated in Fig. 1. If a tooth of the female rotor on the high-pres-sure side (HP-side) unscrews from the tooth space of the male rotor, a wor-king chamber arises. With progressing rotation of the rotor, the volume of this working chamber increases up to a maximum before it is reduced again by a repeated tooth engagement or by the low-pressure side at the front edge, and the working chamber fi-nally disappears. The rotors are tight-ly enclosed by a casing which provides the working chambers with external sealing and sealing towards the front edge. The casing houses the inlet and outlet ports, the limitations of which
are called control edges. The outlet port in the front edge casing of the low-pressure side enables the working fluid to be discharged usually from the maximum chamber volume Vmax
up to the disappearance of the wor-king chamber. In the range in which the chamber is formed the inlet port represents a connection to the high-pressure side of the screw expander. This connection is maintained up to a selectable chamber volume VEx,th (Fig.1). The ratio
is called internal volume ratio vi and is one of the essential parameters of a screw machine.
The ideal comparison process for a screw expander consists of an isobaric chamber filling with the inlet pressure pE and the inlet density lE (high-pressure side) up to VEx,th, an isentro-pic expansion up to the discharge pressure pA (low-pressure side) and an isobaric discharge (Fig. 2) [2]. The isentropic work Ws this process deli-vers per working cycle together with the actually performed inner work per working cycle
forms the compression work ratio Wi/Ws.
The volumetric efficiency hL

R410A Copeland Scroll™ for systems up to 1 MW
MILAN, ITALY, March 27, 2012 – For large HVAC systems Emerson Climate Technologies designed the new Copeland Scroll™ ZP725K compressor for the refrigerant R410A. With a capacity of 158kW* the new Copeland Scroll™ ZP725K opens the door to a widespread use of this refrigerant for air-cooled multi-scroll chillers with a capacity up to 1 MW and up to 1.25 MW if water-cooled. This extra large scroll can easily be combined with other scroll compressors that are identical or lower in size or capacity to offer several possible combinations. This flexibility and reduced complexity is ideal for manufacturers who produce systems with different capacities and enables them to keep only a few compressors in stock. All the assembly designs are Copeland qualified and key in increasing the system seasonal efficiency due to the wide range of capacity modulation – up to the possibility of 12 steps with uneven trio assemblies. Publications from the Eurovent directory demonstrate that systems with scroll technologies and R410A have an overall better seasonal performance compared to similar systems using different refrigerants and compression technologies. Moreover, Emerson’s new CoreSense™ Communications provides the enhanced protection and diagnostic required and expected by this demanding range of applications in HVAC systems. Via RS485 Modbus the system controller is able to gather compressor’s status and working conditions and can adapt or avoid altogether system downtime.

expansion ratio. Equation (10) is found experimentally to be linear from the data of Mycom and Steidel, as shown in Fig. 10. The linear relationship reinforced the initial assumption made, i.e. the expansion follows a constant index path. In addition, it is observed that the gradient of the blowdown pressure ratio increases with decreasing volumetric ratio of the expanders. From Fig. 10, if a data point falls below 1.0, it means that the blowback process has occurred. Only two sets of the experimental data exhibit this phenomenon, i.e. rv = 2.5 of Mycom data and the Steidel data. Rearranging equation (10) gives
ln(r-E~ = - n ln(rJ. (11) \ rp /
Thus, the average value of the expansion index of the working fluid can be obtained, as shown in Fig. I I. The average expansion index, n, from all the experimental data is found to be about 1.074, a value which is quite close to the isentropic index of 1.13. Table 4 gives a detailed listing of the indices for different expanders. It is noted that there is a slight increase in the value of the expansion index as the volumetric ratio increases. Another point to note is that the difference between the expansion indices and the isentropic index, 7, indicates the presence of thermodynamic irreversibility.

5.1 Tests de pression et d’étanchéité
Un ensemble composé d’un étage HP et du générateur, comportant tous les points critiques d’assemblage, a été testé d’abord avec une charge de réfrigérant à 8 bars et ensuite complété avec une charge d’azote à 22 bars. Les joints et points d’assemblages externes ont été testés avec un détecteur de fuite. Aucune fuite importante n’a été trouvée et aucun dommage n’a été observé.
5.2 Tests de fonctionnement mécanique à l’air comprimé
Des tests à air comprimé ont été préparés pour vérifier le fonctionnement mécanique de la machine et en particulier le comportement au démarrage. Un système de filtre à air, de vanne de détente et de lubrificateur d’air sont montés sur le circuit de vapeur, en amont de la turbine. Comme le montre la photo du montage à la figure 16, une vanne d’isolation est mise en place sur la liaison externe de pression entre l’admission et la chambre de pression derrière le palier axial. La lubrification des paliers est effectuée sporadiquement par une injection d’huile au moyen d’une pipette ou d’une seringue. La pression maximale du circuit d’air est de 8 barg. Le démarrage de la turbine s’est effectué simplement en augmentant la pression à l’entrée de la turbine.
5.2.1 Tests fonctionnels à air comprimé pour le module HP
Pour la turbine mono-étagée HP comme illustrée sur la photo ci-dessous, une pression d’entrée de 4-5 barg est nécessaire pour la faire démarrer.

and between the working charnbers on the low and high prcssure sides of the machine respectively. The rotor geometrydetermines the length and form of the gaps [3].
Volume curve and in/er area
The volume curve represents the volurnetric progression of the working chamber depending on the rotation angle of the malerotor. In the zero position of the male rotor the volume of the working eh amber under examination is also zero (Fig.2). Thevolume curve characteristically shows a continuous slope up to the point where full profile intermeshing has taken pi ace,followed by a linear progression, anel a eliminishing rise up to the point where rnaxirnum charnber volume is reacheel.
The inlet area, which depends on the rotation angle. is theeross-section area which is available for the working fluid toflow through during the charging phase. This area is formed bythe apertures in the housing and thc rotor teeth, which circulatepast these gaps, covering and uncovering parts of them. Theinlet area can be represented as a function of the male rotorrotation angle. analogous to the volume curve. Depending onthe profile, the devclopment 01' the inlet area frequently beginsat a rotation angle differing from the zero position of the malerotor. The reason for this is a tooth gap area opening at the frontface, which runs ahead 01' the actual working chamber, and isconnected to the low pressure side [2]. The inlet areaprogression ends with arrival at the control edges, at therotational angle which inelicates the theoretical start ofexpansion.

Working cycle of a screw motor
In principle, a working cycle incIudes all processes in the working area, beginning at a particular therrnodynamic state andending at the next oecurrence of the same state. The working cycle of a screw motor consists of three characteristic phases:charging of the working chamber. expansion phase, anel discharge of the working fluid.
During thc charging phase, the POl1 on the high pressure side ischarged with the working fluid at high temperature and pressure,so that the medium flows into the tooth gap behind it through theinlet area. As the rotor continues to turn. the chamber volumegrows. The charging phase ends when the working charnber nolonger has any connection with the inlet aperture on the highpressure siele (Fig. 3). As the area of the in let port is small at thebeginning of the cycle, resulting in a high choking effect,maximum chamber pressure is not achieved immediately, but isreached as the rotor moves on. This difference eluring thecharging phase between the initial pressure and the maxirnumpressure in the chamber is characteristic for the charging phase.This difference is the result of pressure loss causeel by chokingas the fluid flows in, and gap losses from the working chamber.A further aspect of the real-Iife charging process is that Fig.3:expansion begins before the contro I edge on the high pressureside has been reached. The pressure gradient at the end of thecharging process is already comparable with that during the firstexpansion phase beginning at. when the control edges have been reached. The reason for the early start of expansion isessentially a combination of continuously rising chamber volurne combined with reducing area at the inlet pOI1. The point atwhich expansion actually starts is inherent in the system, and also occurs in an ideal scenario where choke effects and gaplosses are ignored.

At the start 01' the expansion phase. the operaring behaviour of the screw motor is mainly influenced by gap flows, In oreler toassess the effect of gap flows on the energy conversion rating of the motor, a distinction has to be rnade between lass flows outof the working chamber under exami nation and flows into the chamber through other gap interconnections. Compared withisentropic expansion, the actual pressure progression during initial expansion rises more steeply in the theoreticalrepresentation. The reason for this is that the fluid losses from the chamber are proportionally higher than the gains. As rotationcontinues, real and isentropic charnber pressures converge, until, in the seconcl phase 01' expansion, pressures during the realprocess exceecl those for the isentropic expansion process. The more gradual pressure progression duri ng the real process is aconscquence of flows into the working chamber from those following it. This fluiel eloes not tlow directly into the low-pressureside 01' the motor, but helps to sorne extent to fill the expancling chamber uncler consideration, applying power to the rotor

working chambers. When the rotors in a displacement machine rotate, typical cyclical changes in the volume of the working chambers occur. Several operating cycles take place sequentially, during which the working chambers on the high pressure side are continually enlarged during the charging phase, while those on the low pressure side reduce in size as they are emptied. Via areas in the housing, connections between the working chambers and the inlet and outlet ports are created, according to the rotation angle of the rotors. The chambers are normally enclosed except for the rotor clearances. The rims of these apertures, those which close off the charging phase and open for the discharge phase, are referred to as control edges. The rotation angle positions of the control edges determine the internal volume changes in the working chambers. In displacement machines, there is always an important functional separation of moving and stationary parts. The relative movement between the rotors and the internal surfaces of the housing inevitably results in gaps, which prevent mechanical friction between the rotors, and also between the rotors and the housing. There are various ways in which the gaps influence the operational efficiency and security of the machine. They are responsible for connections between the individual working areas, and between the working chambers on the low and high pressure sides of the machine respectively (Zellermann, 1996). The rotor geometry determines the length and form of the gaps. 2.1 Loss Mechanism The description of loss mechanisms during the working cycle of a screw motor is carried out on a typical machine, selected with reference to the indicator diagram in Fig.1.

Figure 1: Chamber pressure progression dependent on chamber volume with real and isentropic charging /
expansion phase. (Hütker and Brümmer, 2010) As the inlet opening has a small area at the start of the working cycle, thus resulting in a high choking effect, maximum chamber pressure is not established instantaneously, but builds up gradually as the rotor turns. The pressure difference between the inlet pressure pi and the chamber pressure pc is characteristic for the charging phase. This pressure difference results from choking losses during inflow, on the one hand, and from gap mass flows, on the other hand. A further characteristic of the real charging procedure is the start of expansion before the high pressure side control edge is reached. The pressure gradient at chamber volume Vex already resembles that of the first expansion phase as the control edge is reached from Vex,th on. The reason for the early start of real expansion is mainly the combination of continually rising chamber volume and reduction in the area of the inlet opening towards the end of the charging phase. This early start is an inherent part of the system and it also occurs in an ideal simulation, ignoring choking and gap loss factors which result from flow obstruction in the inlet cross-section.

Regarding the system parameters, it is evident that, for the reasons ini-tially mentioned, a superheating of the working fluid Ethanol is disad-vantageous. Furthermore, an increa-sed inlet pressure (here 40 bar) in con-nection with an increased internal
ever the maximum chamber pressure is considerably below the applied in-let pressure. The compression work ra-tio as well as the volumetric efficien-cy is correspondingly low. At the same time, the dimensions of the machine are increasing in relation to the inlet pressure so that the internal power reaches its maximum. With regard to other geometrical parameters it is to be noticed that a relatively small wrap angle of e. g. = 200° is advan-tageous and the combination of teeth numbers at male and female rotor as well as the L/D-ratio play a rather mi-nor role concerning the maximum possible internal power [4].
The effective output power of this screw expander calculated in design phase II is shown in Figure 4 over the system mass flow for different MR speeds. Here, a reduced system mass flow at fixed speed can only be rea-lized via reduced inlet pressure. Accor-dingly, the output power falls linearly with the mass flow. Due to the fixed internal volume ratios, overexpansion inside the screw expander occurs with decreasing inlet pressure. Apart from friction losses, the compres sion work required to compensate overexpan-sion offsets the effective area in the in-dicator diagram in case of diminishing
volume ratio (here vi = 8) turns out to be an advantage. Due to the large in-ternal volume ratio, the inlet area of the screw expander is small (Fig. 1). In order to never theless realize a suf-ficient chamber filling, a supercriti-cal influx is advantageous. Then how-

It should be noted that the traditional definition of the isentropic effectiveness cannot be used
in this case because this definition is valid for adiabatic processes only. In the case of
volumetric expanders, even insulated devices exchange a non-negligible amount of heat with
their environment (Lemort, 2011). The relation between both definitions can be obtained by
combining eq. (3) with the first law of thermodynamics:
𝜀 = .( , )
= .( ) .( , )

.( , ) (3)
Eq. (3) shows that both definitions only agree if the ambient heat losses Q are negligible.
As indicated in Figure 4Figure 4, the efficiency curve presents a maximum which is due to the
fixed built-in volumetric ratio of the expander.

4.2 Empirical expression of the expander performance
To obtain a generic non-dimensional performance curve of the expander, a fitted expression
of the effectiveness can be defined using carefully selected input variables. If ambient heat
losses are neglected, scroll expanders can indeed be modeled by their isentropic effectiveness
and filling factor as defined in Eq. (2) and (4).

Two further constraints are needed on the scroll geometry in order to fix the rest of the scroll geometry. Either ϕo0 or ϕi0 is a free variable, the other being fixed by the scroll wrap thickness for a given base circle radius. Increasing the value of ϕi0 just rotates the scroll wrap, so for simplicity, ϕi0 is set to zero. The value of ϕos is set to 0.3 radians. Therefore, with the additional constraints imposed here, there remains just one free variable, which can either be taken to be the scroll wrap height hs or the base circle radius rb, and here the base circle radius was taken as the free variable with the height adjusted to meet the displacement constraint. A method is presented in the next section to optimize the selection of the base circle radius. With these constraints, it is possible to obtain an analytic solution for the relevant scroll wrap parameters. The outer involute initial angle is then given by 0 /o s bt r (6) and after some algebra and simplification, the height of the scroll wrap is given by

where both the fixed and orbiting scrolls have the same ending angle. If another set of constraints is desired, it is possible to use a non-linear solver to obtain the scroll wrap geometry. For the same volume ratio, scroll wrap thickness and displacement, the larger rb is, the smaller hs must be to maintain the same displacement, volume ratio and scroll wrap thickness. This yields a family of solutions from a very narrow cylinder to a “pancake” scroll design. Selected members of this family are shown in Figure 5. All scroll wraps are plotted at the same scale.

3. DERIVATION OF OPTIMAL BASE CIRCLE RADIUS
As shown in the previous section, for a given volume ratio, displacement, and scroll wrap thickness, a family of different scroll wraps can be obtained. The range of scroll wraps, from a narrow cylinder to a pancake scroll, offer different performance due to the variation in the leakage rates. It is therefore useful to develop a simple model for the leakage terms in order get a first guess for the optimal scroll wrap geometry from a leakage standpoint. In the

and the results for the effective leakage areas as a function of base circle radius for a volume ratio of 2.7 and displacement of 104.8 cm3 are shown in Figure 6. The effective radial leakage increases quasi-linearly with the base circle radius, while the effective flank leakage decreases with the base circle radius. Under these constraints the sum of the two terms yields a minimum effective leakage area at a base circle radius of 3.91 mm. * * *

over a range of displacement and volume ratios for a fixed scroll wrap width of 4.66 mm. Both flank and radial leakage gap widths are set to 12 µm. The results of this analysis are shown in Figure 7. The optimal base circle radii obtained from the detailed compressor modeling for the Liquid-Flooded Ericsson Cycle and the Liquid-Flooded CO2 analyses (Bell, 2011) are also overlaid in order to demonstrate the effectiveness of this method for calculating an approximate optimal base circle radius. While both of these sets of optimal geometry are based on a liquid-flooded compressor, it is interesting to note that their optimal base circle radii follow closely with the model presented here. The Python code required to carry out the optimization is listed as the appendix. It is straightforward to generate a similar plot for a different scroll wrap thickness. These results show that for a given displacement, as the volume ratio increases, the optimal base circle radius decreases. Furthermore, for a given volume ratio, as the displacement is increased, the optimal base circle radius increases. This chart can be generally employed in the design of scroll wraps, whether for flooded or dry compression applications. The inclusion of geometrically-dependent mechanical losses and scroll wrap manufacturing cost would result in different optimal scroll wrap geometry.

4.1. Practical aspects
Several practical issues have been overcome during the testperiod, a significant such was the notoriously difficult task ofmeasuring the waste water flow correctly. (As the variation issignificant an accurate flow measurement is required in order toevaluate power plant efficiency. Unfortunately that task failedseveral times delaying the collection of proper data.)
The ORC power plant is installed according to the SwedishRefrigeration Industry Code rigorously addressing the validation ofsafety [5]. As the MUNKSJÖ plant at Aspa already had experiencefromhandling ammonia this did not cause any delays to the project.
Fouling and similar issues in heat exchangers were expected buthas not been experienced up to the time of writing this paper.
4.2. Functional aspects
The power plant is fully automatic except for restart after faultalarm. In this situation the plant is started remotely by the plantcentral operations.
Synchronisation between the generator and the grid net isautomatic. Starting time is 0.5e2 min to synchronisation, see Fig. 5,and further 1e2 min to full load.
NPO (Net Power Output) defined as measured at the walls of theORC unit, has exceeded predictions mainly due to the lack of heatexchanger fouling.
During the commercial operation availability has been goodalthough the measured period was short. An analysis of the avail-ability will be made after 12 months commercial operation.
4.3. WHR efficiencies
Electric output ratio, or first law thermal efficiency, is of limitedvalue in determining LTPC-efficiency with finite heat source andheat sink. The size of the ORC has a larger impact on thermal efficiencythan the quality of the process or its components, as indicated in [3].

The di!erence in slope for the scatter plots for both com-pressor and expander is due to the di!erence in pressureratios experienced by the two machines. Since the test rigis quite large with significant piping and a large numberof fittings, the pressure drop between the compressor andexpander is quite large. As a result, the imposed pres-sure ratio on the compressor will always be higher thanthat imposed on the expander. In the limit of no pressuredrops in the system, the two curves should come signifi-cantly nearer. There will still be some di!erence in slopedue to di!erences in scroll machine e"ciency, manifestingitself as a di!erence in the outlet temperature.
4. Model Validation
After developing a detailed component model for boththe compressor and the expander with flooding, it is nec-essary to validate the model against experimental dataas well as tune several parameters di"cult to estimatedirectly. The scroll machine models operate as in theschematic shown in Figure 11, where all the parame-ters listed as model input parameters must be estimated,tuned, or correlated based on physical input parameters.
4.1. Compressor Model Validation and Model Tuning
Tuning of the compressor model is carried out in a two-step process. First the mass flow rate is tuned based onleakage and pressure drop parameters, and then the shaftpower is tuned based on mechanical loss and external heattransfer parameters.

also, it can be observed that the agreement is good. The maximumdeviation between the model predictions and the measurements is5%.
Fig. 10 compares the evolutions of the exhaust temperature(measured and predicted by the model) with the mean measuredtemperature of the fluid between the expander supply andexhaust.
The model predicts the exhaust temperature within 3 K. How-ever, the model seems to slightly overestimate the exhaust tem-perature for high expander mean temperatures and to slightlyunderestimate it for the lower mean temperatures.
This figure also shows the evolution of the predicted exhausttemperature if the model did not account for ambient losses. Thedeviation between the predicted exhaust temperature and themeasured one increases with the mean temperature. This confirmsthat the model should account for the ambient losses to better pre-dict the exhaust temperature.
5. Model analysis
The validated model of the expander is used to quantify the dif-ferent losses and to indicate how the design of the expander mightbe altered to achieve better performances.
Fig. 11 shows the evolution of the overall isentropic effective-ness with the pressure ratio imposed to the expander. Operatingconditions, related to one of the measured performance points,correspond to a supply pressure of 10.03 bar, an exhaust pressureof 2.01 bar, a supply temperature of 142 !C and a rotational speedof 2296 rpm. The measured overall isentropic effectiveness for thisoperating point is also indicated in Fig. 11 (with error bars associ-ated with measurement uncertainties).
The evolution at the top of the figure is predicted by a modelthat only accounts for under- and over-expansion losses. The effec-tiveness goes through 1.0 at a pressure ratio equal to the internalpressure ratio (Pad = Pex). For smaller and larger pressure ratios,the fluid is over-expanded and under-expanded respectively.Experimental results showed that the maximum achieved pressureratio was around 5.5. If much larger pressure ratios were imposed,a machine with a larger built-in volume ratio than 4.05 would yieldbetter performances.
The overall isentropic effectiveness decreases when accountingfor the heat transfers in the modeling because of the supply coolingdown of the fluid. This decrease could slightly be tempered by bet-ter insulating the expander (in the limiting case, AUamb = 0 W/K).
Introducing the mechanical losses and the supply pressure dropin the modeling largely reduces the isentropic effectiveness. Fur-ther work should investigate the possibility of reducing mechani-cal losses by using better adapted tip seals. As already mentionedby Yanagisawa et al. [5], the supply pressure drop is an inherentcharacteristic of the scroll machine. A detailed modeling of the ex-pander should answer the question of how to reduce this pressuredrop by modifying the expander geometry.
The internal leakage is responsible for the major part of the per-formance loss. Under the assumption that the tip seals work cor-rectly (they seal the radial gap between the tip of each scroll andthe plate of the opposite scroll), the identified leakage area (Table3) may be explained by a large flank clearance between the twoscrolls. This large clearance is characteristic of scroll machinesoperating with a kinematically rigid configuration, where a flankgap is maintained.
6. Conclusions
An experimental study was carried out on a prototype of a scrollexpander integrated into an Organic Rankine Cycle. The evolutionof the expander performance, expressed in terms of global isentro-pic effectiveness and filling factor, with the operating conditions

In order to describe the expansion process, the following geometrical parameters of the expander were defined.
The duration of the supply fa and exhaust fp processes influence the mass flow rate swept by the expander. The duration of the supply process, or cut-off ratio (fa), can vary between 0.1 and 0.25 [28]. The volume of the admitted and residual fluids is determined in the model by Equation (1). According to the expander data provided by the manufacturer, the duration of the supply and exhaust processes can be 0.25 for a supply valve and 0.4 for an exhaust valve:

2.1. Supply and Exhaust Pressure Drops
The pressure drops within the supply and exhaust valves are computed by reference to the flow through a simple nozzle. For a compressible fluid, the stream velocity (subsonic or sonic flow) determines the pressure at the nozzle throat and depends on the critical pressure given by Equation (3):

Conclusions
o PosiWve displacement machines show some advantages over turbines, among them their ability to handle a liquid phase: lot of opportuniWes of research in 2-‐phase flows
o Larger industrial maturity of screw expanders vs scroll expanders, niche-‐market applicaWons for piston expanders
o Developments on posiWve displacement expanders beneficiate from developments of compressors: increase of performance, reliability & extension of operaWng ranges (f.i. compressors for high temperature heat pumps)
o Different types of modeling/simula)on models for different purposes
o The selec)on of the expansion machine depends on the working condiWons and on the selected fluid ü OperaWng maps of opWmal working condiWons for each combinaWon of
expander/fluid were presented ü Useful tool for the preliminary selecWon of expanders and fluids for a given cycle.
