Waste Heat Recovery System Design: 5-Day Training Course Overview
The objective of this course is to provide participants theoretical and practical training on designing waste heat recovery systems to improve energy efficiency in existing and new energy intensive systems. During this 5-day (8 hours per day) course the participants will be exposed to the design of systems for waste heat recovery from low, medium and high temperature sources.
During this interactive course, the participants will have hands-on practical training on designing thermodynamic cycles and components for waste heat recovery systems using AxCYCLE™ and AxSTREAM®, respectively. This comprehensive course gives an in-depth insight into cycle analysis and turbine engineering for axial, radial-inflow and radial-outflow turbines, starting from general discussion like energy systems, heat exchanger types and selection, specificities of pumps in ORC and opportunities for waste heat recovery and ending with complete design of flow path and 3D blades for the turbine with attachments. Exercises will be provided to attendees on both the theoretical and practical sections to ensure proper understanding of the contents presented.
The scope includes:
- Assessment and opportunities for waste heat recovery
- Thermodynamic cycle analysis for waste heat recovery with different fluids and configurations
- Effect of recuperation on cycle performance
- Basics of gas dynamics and fluid properties
