from 300 to 170 degree Celsius I've to use the temp range so water will not be efficientBystander said:... and, why not water?

The organic rankine cycle is a thermodynamic cycle that uses an organic fluid as the working fluid to convert heat into mechanical or electrical energy. It is similar to the traditional rankine cycle used in steam power plants, but it uses organic fluids instead of water.
Organic fluids have a lower boiling point and higher vapor pressure than water, which makes them more efficient at converting heat into energy. They also have a lower environmental impact and can be used with lower temperature heat sources, making them a more versatile option for energy production.
The choice of organic fluid depends on several factors such as the operating temperature of the ORC, the type of heat source, and the desired efficiency. Some commonly used organic fluids include isobutane, propane, and various refrigerants.
Organic fluids are flammable and toxic, so it is important to handle them with caution. Proper safety measures should be taken during the design, operation, and maintenance of an ORC system to ensure the safe use of organic fluids.
Yes, it is possible to use multiple organic fluids in an ORC to optimize the system's performance. This is known as a multicomponent cycle and can be beneficial in cases where a single fluid may not be suitable for the entire range of operating conditions.
