Abstract
This paper reports the status and experience in exploitation of low to moderate temperature energy sources by using the organic Rankine cycle (ORC) in China. Several experimental demonstration installations of ORC in our country are described, in which two geothermal power stations, one in Jiangxi province and the other in Liaoning province, are emphasized in this paper. The authors indicate that the potential application of ORC in industrial waste heat recovery is very widespread, so that attention should be paid to the development of ORC technology.
