Abstract

The use of organic working fluids in organic Rankine cycle (ORC) systems may lead to thermal decomposition, which negatively impacts system performance and safety. In this work, a simplified theoretical method based on the transition state theory is proposed to predict the ideal maximum thermal stabilization temperature of organic working fluids. This method involves considering the initial decomposition reaction of the working fluids and calculating the total reaction rate of the initial decomposition. By setting an acceptable decomposition rate, the ideal maximum thermal stabilization temperature of the working fluid can be determined. Using this method, the total reaction rate constants of several typical hydrocarbon, hydrofluorocarbon and siloxane working fluids were obtained in the temperature range of 300∼700 K. The predicted maximum operational temperatures were in good agreement with most experimental results. The branch ratio analyses show that C–C bond cleavage contributed mainly to the decomposition of hydrocarbons, the removal of HF and C–C bond cleavage contributed mainly to that of HFCs, and the Si–C bond cleavage contributed mainly to that of siloxanes. Only considering these main reactions in the reaction rate calculation can greatly reduce calculation cost without significantly impacting the prediction accuracy.
