Small-scale organic Rankine cycle turbo-generator for waste heat recovery on truck engine

Kévin Rosset

Truck engine waste heat recovery (WHR) systems have been investigated for many years. Among them, organic Rankine cycle (ORC) systems show the highest potential, but still lack efficient small-scale expansion devices, in practice. Proposed expanders are of ...
