Abstract:
This work describes the small-scale setup (ROMA) installed at the SINTEF Energy Research/ NTNU (Norwegian University of Science and Technology) laboratory, designed to generate electricity from low temperature heat (120 ÂșC). The system operates a CO2 power cycle from a hot gas heat source with similar temperature to those of an aluminium production cell. The ROMA set-up was capable of producing up to 0.5 kW electrical power with a maximum turbine efficiency of 40 %. Laboratory test rig construction and results for prototype operation are presented in this paper.
