- Working Fluid: Refrigerant (Standard ORC Fluid R-134a and R-245fa)
- Expansion Ratio: 3.5
Model Variants:- E15H22N4.25 (Oil-free)
- E15H22N4.25L (Lubricated)
Design and Operation:- The scroll expander features a rotary scroll design that provides quiet, balanced, and pulse-free operation with a noise level of 50 dB(A).
- It uses two identical involutes to form right- and left-hand components, creating crescent-shaped gas pockets for gas expansion.
- The device operates with one fixed scroll and one moving scroll attached to an eccentric that drives a generator shaft.
- The expander inlet is at the center, and gas expands as it moves toward the periphery, eliminating the need for valves and reducing noise.
- Dynamic balancing allows for nearly vibration-free operation, and the absence of valves enhances reliability.
Performance:- Rated up to 1 kW with a maximum inlet pressure of 13.5 bar/200 psig.
- Magnetic coupling prevents leakage, allowing use with various refrigerant gases.
- Oil-free version operates at 70% efficiency, while the lubricated version operates at 80% efficiency.
