ORC Feasibility Study: Confirming the Heat Is Worth Recovering
ORC Feasibility Study
An ORC project lives or dies on whether the heat source is real, steady and recoverable, and none of those can be assumed. A feasibility study measures the actual heat, models the cycle and confirms the recoverable power and economics, turning a promising waste heat stream into a project an investor can underwrite.
What the Study Establishes
- Heat-source characterisation, the actual temperature, flow and duty pattern over time.
- Recoverable power, what the measured heat can genuinely generate.
- Cycle and fluid selection, matched to the measured temperature range.
- Economics and payback, the installed cost against the value of recovered power.
Why Assumptions Are the Enemy
The most common ORC failure is sizing against an assumed heat source that does not match reality, leaving a system that never reaches its output. A feasibility study replaces those assumptions with measurements, which is why it sits at the front of every sound recovery project, before equipment is specified or money committed.
