Advantages

Organic Rankine Cycle offers many advantages, such as:

High turbine / thermodynamic cycle efficiency;
Turbine low mechanical stress;
Absence of moisture during the vapour expansion, responsible for the erosion of the blades;
Simple start up procedures;
Automatic and continuous operation;
Simple maintenance procedure;
No operator attendance required;
Long life of the plant (> 20 years);
No need to demineralize water.

Due to these advantages, power plants based on ORC technology are quickly spreading around the world.
