Low-order models of a single-screw expander for organic Rankine cycle applications [PDF]
Screw-type volumetric expanders have been demonstrated to be a suitable technology for organic Rankine cycle (ORC) systems because of higher overall effectiveness and good part-load behaviour over other positive displacement machines. An 11 kWe single-screw expander (SSE) adapted from an air compressor has been tested in an ORC test-rig operating with ...

Non-symmetric approach to single-screw expander and compressor modeling [PDF]
Single-screw type volumetric machines are employed both as compressors in refrigeration systems and, more recently, as expanders in organic Rankine cycle (ORC) applications. The single-screw machine is characterized by having a central grooved rotor and two mating toothed starwheels that isolate the working chambers.

Mechanistic model of an oil-flooded single-screw expander [PDF]
The power generated from Organic Rankine Cycles (ORCs) is directly related to the performance of the expander used, which in many cases it is adapted from the original compressor. The efficiency of positive displacement expanders depends on several aspects such as internal volume ratio and pressure ratio (under- and over-expansion), leakages, non ...

Numerical analysis of oil injection effects in a single screw expander
The pursuit of higher efficiency for compression and micro-power generation systems has pushed the researchers to an in-depth analysis of positive displacement machines. Single-screw machines, among the others, are gaining attention in the Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) systems as expanders, thanks to their extended maintenance intervals and compactness ...

Update on single-screw expander geometry model integrated into an open-source simulation tool [PDF]
In this paper, a mechanistic steady-state model of a single-screw expander is described with emphasis on the geometric description. Insights into the calculation of the main parameters and the definition of the groove profile are provided. Additionally, the adopted chamber model is discussed.

Employing a Single-Screw Expander in an Organic Rankine Cycle with Liquid Flooded Expansion and Internal Regeneration [PDF]
Abstract Positive displacement expanders are proven to be cost-effective in the low to medium power range for Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) systems. Among the different types of volumetric expanders, the screw-type presents a favorable combination of relatively high internal volume ratio (up to 7) and isentropic efficiency (up to 80%) with respect to ...

Different Numerical Approaches for the Analysis of a Single Screw Expander
Abstract Positive displacement machines (e.g. scroll, twin screw, reciprocating, etc.) are proven to be suitable as expanders for organic Rankine cycle (ORC) applications, especially in the medium to low power range. However, in order to increase their performance, detailed simulation models are required to optimize the design and reduce the internal

Numerical Study On The Internal Irreversible Flow Loss of Single Screw Expanders [PDF]
Abstract As a type of positive displacement expander, single screw expander (SSEs) can be widely applied in the energy storage systems and waste heat recovery field. The irreversible losses (such as leakage, flow, heat transfer, intake and exhaust pressure loss…) have great influence on the expander performance.
