Definitions
- the embodiments disclosed herein relate generally to the field of a rankine cycle system and, more particularly, to a system and method for lubricating a screw expander in a rankine cycle system.
- ORC organic rankine cycle
- ORC uses a higher molecular mass organic fluid.
- ORC allows heat recovery from low temperature sources such as industrial waste heat, geothermal heat, solar ponds, or the like. The low temperature heat is converted into useful work, that can itself be converted into electricity.
- the working fluid is pumped to an evaporator where working fluid is evaporated, passes through a turbine and is finally recondensed.
- screw expanders in ORC enable a low capital expenditure (CAPEX), competitive cost of electricity, and effective operation.
- CELEX capital expenditure
- screw expanders can be coupled directly to a generator, without an intermediate reduction gearbox. This not only saves cost but also reduces losses compared to turbines with gearboxes.
- Non-synchronized screw expanders require oil to be injected into an inlet of the expander to lubricate the rotors and bearings of the screw expanders.
- Conventional oil lubrication systems separate oil from the working fluid downstream from the expander. At the cycle point downstream from the expander, the working fluid is in a gaseous state and has a lower density. The oil is in liquid state.
- demisters are used to separate the oil from the working fluid.
- the demisters have a significant size to accommodate the lower density of the working fluid and to achieve lower pressure drops in the cycle.
- the oil After the oil is separated from the working fluid, the oil has to be cooled and pressurized to a higher pressure for injection into the expander. An additional oil pump is needed for pressurizing the oil to a higher pressure and an oil cooler is required for cooling the oil.
- Such systems are complex and have a large footprint.
- the flow of lubricant is passively controlled via a nozzle or shim for enabling sufficient flow at all operating conditions. However such passive control leads to an excessive lubrication at operating conditions other than design-point operation causing reduction in cycle efficiency.
- a method for lubricating a screw expander using a mixture of working fluid and lubricant in an organic rankine cycle system includes condensing the mixture of working fluid and lubricant fed from the screw expander, through a condenser. At least a portion of the mixture of working fluid and lubricant fed from the condenser is pressurized from a first pressure to a second pressure through a pump.
- the method can also include separating the lubricant from the condensed working fluid of at least a portion of the mixture via a separator and feeding the lubricant to the screw expander; or separating the lubricant from the working fluid of at least a portion of the mixture via an evaporator and feeding the lubricant to the screw expander; or feeding at least a portion of the mixture of condensed working fluid and lubricant to the screw expander; or combinations thereof.
- a method for lubricating a screw expander includes sensing one or more parameters related to the screw expander. The method also includes controlling the feed of the lubricant, at least a portion of the mixture of condensed working fluid and lubricant, or combinations thereof to the screw expander based on one or more parameters related to the screw expanders.
- a control system for controlling lubrication of a screw expander includes a plurality of sensors configured for sensing one or more parameters related to the screw expander.
- a separator is disposed between an evaporator and a fluid feed pump. The separator is configured to receive at least a portion of a mixture of condensed working fluid and lubricant fed from the fluid feed pump and to separate the lubricant from the working fluid.
- a flow control device is disposed between the separator and the screw expander and configured to control the flow of the lubricant from the separator to the screw expander.
- a controller is coupled to the plurality of sensors and the flow control device. The controller is configured to receive output signals indicative of one or more parameters related to the screw expander from the plurality of sensors and control the flow control device based on the sensor output signals.
- a control system includes a plurality of sensors configured for sensing one or parameters related to a screw expander.
- a flow control device is configured to receive a portion of a mixture of condensed working fluid and oil from a condenser and feed the portion of the mixture of working fluid and oil to the screw expander.
- the flow control device is configured to control the flow of the portion of the mixture of working fluid and oil from the condenser to the screw expander.
- a controller is coupled to the plurality of sensors and the flow control device. The controller is configured to receive output signals indicative of one or more parameters related to the screw expander from the plurality of sensors and control the flow control device based on the output signals.
- various embodiments of the present invention provide a method for lubricating an expansion machine, for example, a screw expander using a mixture of working fluid and lubricant in an organic rankine cycle system.
- the method includes condensing the mixture of working fluid and lubricant fed from the screw expander through a condenser.
- the mixture of working fluid and lubricant fed from the condenser is pressurized from a first pressure to a second pressure through a pump.
- the lubricant is separated from the condensed working fluid and fed to the screw expander.
- a portion of the mixture of the condensed working fluid and lubricant is fed to the expander.
- the feeding of the separated lubricant or the portion of the mixture of condensed working fluid and lubricant to the screw expander is controlled based on one or more parameters related to the screw expanders.
- a control system for controlling lubrication of a screw expander in an organic rankine cycle system is disclosed.
