Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) is an effective way to recycle waste heat sources of a marine diesel engine. The aim of the present paper is to analyze and optimize the thermoeconomic performance of a Series Heat Exchangers ORC (SHEORC) for recovering energy from jacket water, scavenge air, and exhaust gas. The three sources are combined into three groups of jacket water (JW)→exhaust gas (EG), scavenge air (SA)→exhaust gas, and jacket water→scavenge air→exhaust gas. The influence of fluid mass flow rate, evaporation pressure, and heat source recovery proportion on the thermal performance and economic performance of SHEORC was studied. A single-objective optimization with power output as the objective and multi-objective optimization with exergy efficiency and levelized cost of energy (LCOE) as the objectives are carried out. The analysis results show that in jacket water→exhaust gas and jacket water→scavenge air→exhaust gas source combination, there is an optimal heat recovery proportion through which the SHEORC could obtain the best performance. The optimization results showed that R245ca has the best performance in thermoeconomic performance in all three source combinations. With scavenge air→exhaust, the power output, exergy efficiency, and LCOE are 354.19 kW, 59.02%, and 0.1150 $/kWh, respectively. Integrating the jacket water into the SA→EG group would not increase the power output, but would decrease the LCOE.
有机朗肯循环(ORC)是回收船用柴油机废热源的一种有效方式。本文旨在分析和优化用于从缸套水、扫气和废气中回收能量的串联换热器有机朗肯循环(SHEORC)的热经济性能。这三种热源被组合成三组:缸套水(JW)→废气(EG)、扫气(SA)→废气以及缸套水→扫气→废气。研究了流体质量流量、蒸发压力和热源回收比例对SHEORC热性能和经济性能的影响。以功率输出为目标进行了单目标优化,并以火用效率和能源平准化成本(LCOE)为目标进行了多目标优化。分析结果表明,在缸套水→废气以及缸套水→扫气→废气的热源组合中,存在一个最优的热回收比例,通过该比例SHEORC可获得最佳性能。优化结果表明,R245ca在所有三种热源组合的热经济性能方面表现最佳。对于扫气→废气的情况,功率输出、火用效率和LCOE分别为354.(此处原文有误,推测应为354.19)kW、59.02%和0.1150 $/kWh。将缸套水集成到SA→EG组中不会增加功率输出,但会降低LCOE。
