Technical Support and Special Projects.
Workshop Overview and Objectives
The goal of this 1-day course is to provide engineers
working in the energy and utility space with a better
understanding of what waste heat recovery (WHR) systems
are in the context of nuclear, fossil and renewable
energies (including solar, biomass, etc.) and how they
can greatly benefit the way we look at and increase the
efficiency of our power generation installations to
respect tighter environmental and emission regulations.
This workshop covers everything from assessment,
opportunities, development and challenges for waste to
energy processes to fluid properties and selection while
diving into thermodynamic cycles and design of waste heat
recovery system components using a combination of both
theoretical and real-life examples. Additionally,
specificities of WHR turbomachinery will be discussed and
in-depth selection and design of axial and radial
expanders will be undertaken focusing both on large
equipment and smaller installations. This includes basic
equations used for the design and analysis at design and
off-design conditions of such machines, explanations on
what a turbine is and the use of its components and their
losses, as well as elementary profiling tips and much
more.
In addition, the workshop will be supported with
practical case studies illustrated through the use of
different software tools.
Course scope:
- Introduction and overview of waste heat recovery and
thermodynamic cycles including ORC and sCO2
- Selection of fluid for recovery of low, medium and
high grade waste heat for different power production
ranges
- Discussion of turbine applications (axial versus
radial-inflow versus radial-outflow), when to use them
and their limitations
- Overall design process of turbines for different
types of expanders (including axial vs radial) as well as
pumps for waste heat recovery application
- Current design challenges and opportunities in waste
heat recovery systems
Who should attend:
- Technical managers and development engineers involved
in design and development of systems and technologies for
the improvement of energy efficiency by recovering waste
heat.
- Professionals working on both renewable and green
energy technologies.
- Engineers involved in design of nuclear and fossil-
fired plants and other power generation technologies.
- Mechanical engineers and engineering&n
bsp;managers working with waste heat recovery
systems who are looking to learn about different system
and component design and optimization strategies
- Engineering professionals working in the power
generation or utility space looking to looking to improve
or expand the product range by incorporating innovative
engineering solutions into the waste heat recovery system
