Siemens FactSheet ORC Module

The Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) technology developed by Siemens enables the generation of electricity from waste heat with temperatures as low as 300°C, using an organic, non-toxic working fluid. The ORC modules can generate 300 kW to 2 MW of power and increase efficiency by recovering heat from sources like biomass, industrial processes, and gas turbines. ORC technology is suitable for a variety of industries that produce waste heat, such as chemical, glass, food and beverage, and metal industries. Siemens' ORC solution provides benefits like highly efficient turbines, flexible operation, simple design, and low maintenance costs.

Fact Sheet:
Organic Rankine Cycle

Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) technology makes it possible to generate electricity from
waste heat with temperatures down to 300°C, which is too low to use with
conventional steam power plants. ORC technology enables Siemens to provide its
customers with solutions using well-proven components, such as the SST-060 steam
turbine, with low-temperature heat sources. The ORC module is capable of generating
electrical power from 300 kW to 2 MW. The working medium is a chlorine free, non-
toxic, substance with a zero ozone depletion potential.

Waste heat with a temperature of 300°C is just enough to drive the ORC-cycle-process.
The recovery process adds to the efficiency of the process and thus decreases the
overall costs of fuel and energy consumption.
