Abstract

In this work, organic Rankine cycle (ORC) integrated with Latent Thermal Energy Storage (LTES) system for engine waste heat recovery has been proposed and investigated to potentially overcome the intermittent and fluctuating operational conditions for vehicle applications. A melting-solidification model has been established to investigate and compare the performance of twelve Phase Change Materials (PCMs) under different heat source conditions. Among the twelve PCMs, LiNO3-KCl-NaNO3 is identified as the optimal PCM for engine exhaust heat recovery. The performance of the ORC system integrating with different volume of LTES using LiNO3-KCl-NaNO3 under dynamic heat source simulating vehicle conditions is studied. Results illustrate the fluctuation of engine exhaust heat can be potentially overcome by using the proposed solution. The condition of 100 L LTES provides 30.4% larger total output work than that of 50 L LTES, while it is merely 1.5% larger than that of 90 L LTES. The performance of three different LTES-ORC scenarios are compared and results show ORC combining with double LTES delivers 17.2% larger total power output than that of single LTES (100 L) under the same operational conditions.
