For those who don't recognize the term "Rankine cycle", a steam engine is the common example of a Rankine cycle engine. This is the same as a steam turbine engine, but using a hydrocarbon (organic) fluid instead of water, because it has a lower boiling temperature so it can use a lower-temperature heat source.
About 60K differential. But say 100K to get something usable out of it. Typical they would use engine cooling water to get it to 95C then exhaust heat to get it up to 120C, and that is sufficient to get a pretty decent amount of power.
True. In this case, the intended heat source is any large waste heat source, such as the exhaust of a ship's engine or a gas turbine power generation station. The combination of the ship's engine or the turbine and the Climeon engine is a combined cycle system.
Typically it would be form some thing like district heating furnace where you can get some electric power out of the system basically "for free". A other application is on a cruise ship where the system can scavenge heat from heat exhaust ports, jacket cooling for the diesel engines, and exhaust heat. By stacking them in the right order. Can get say the first order of heat up to 40C, the second up to something like 90C and the third up to 120-140C, getting a heat drop all the way down to 20C or so from sea water.

What type of fluid or organic working media does it use?
people,👍 you are the best
Does it produce enough power to run condenser water circulation pump and refrigerant. If cooling tower is the heat sink then fan also
I wonder if they are going to try to use tin-selenide crystals as the thermoelectric medium.
What exact does " Organic Working media" mean? 0:15 Sounds like potting soil or something? Organic as in it use to be alive?
"Organic" in chemistry means materials made of hydrogen and carbon (and other elements). Living things are made of these materials.
Could be super critical co2?
It sounds like a heat pump. How big is the output? I wish you all success with this project.
Just wondering how big temperature difference must be to get out some useful energy?

What is the minimum power? kW
You left out where the heat (energy) comes from... this could be any number of closed loop steam turbine generator, like the candu reactor for example
I was thinking same where does heat come from, burning gasoline, wood, etc really green.

@@arto1313Can be geothermal
I want to buy
Sea water no lake well river. Creek rain pond
Heat scource
waste heat from industries, concentrated solar thermal, waste heat from OTHER power generation plants... the possibilities are endless
Would be better of it has its own radiator to cool the hot water
Not in a ship, which is the intended application.
