Abstract
When field trials were first conducted in 2006 the PureCycle® product introduced a new concept in modular, packaged, quick to market organic rankine cycle power generation systems. Over 2008 and 2009 the PureCycle® system was deployed in number of applications including waste heat capture, both small scale (500kW) and large scale (10MW) geothermal power plants. The systems have performed exceptionally well with over 98% availability and exceeded expectations. Nevertheless, system improvements continue to be made. This paper summarises the overall performance of the systems currently in operation, product features and their performance in the field, and new technical innovations that are being offered and considered by Pratt & Whitney Power Systems.
