GE ORC - Clean Cycle how it works

GE's Clean Cycle* II heat-to-power generator is a compact, modular system that converts waste heat -- from an array of heat sources -- into power. The conversion process requires no additional fuel, produces no additional emissions, and delivers base-load power that may be used on-site or sold to the grid. GE's Clean Cycle II J-Series is specifically designed for reciprocating engine applications that use heat from the engine jacket water. The jacket water heat acts as a pre-heater for the Clean Cycle working fluid, and provides thermal energy -- in addition to the exhaust heat from the engine -- to ensure increased output from a given engine.
