 Pratt & Whitney Organic Rankine Cycle Technology
Quality Pratt & Whitney, a division of United Technologies
Corporation (UTC), is committed to providing clean,
High-volume components efficient and reliable power within the renewable energy
produced to strict tolerances market. Its Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) product line,
developed by Pratt & Whitney Power Systems (PWPS),
allow for tightly controlled
harnesses heat to generate electricity from a variety of
assembly processes, sources including biomass, geothermal, reciprocating
yielding a standardized engines, industrial waste heat, incinerators, oil and gas
power plant that is ready fields, etc.
for site installation.
The Organic Rankine Cycle Technology Delivers a Variety of Performance
Pratt & Whitney quality tools, Characteristics that Make It Unique:
such as mistake proofing,
Ease of installation and maintenance
process certification and
Fully integrated and assembled, modular, skid-
relentless root cause mounted packages that can be sized to match the
analysis (RRCA), are resource and rapidly deployed according to need
100% remote monitoring and operation
promoted throughout the
supply chain.
Organic Rankine Cycle Thermodynamic Process
Key quality and production 1) Hot water enters the evaporator to heat the ORC
certifications, including ISO system working fluid.
9001:2001 are maintained 2) High-pressure, hot, vaporized working fluid then
enters the power module and drives a turbine to

produce electrical power.
Speed of Delivery
High-volume flow lines at multiple industry-leading
integrators are designed for and dedicated to the
ORC product.
Supplier input, incorporated from early in the
design process, maximizes producibility.
*Figure 1: Organic Rankine Cycle Thermodynamic Process
PWPS developed the PureCycle power system (280 kW)
for low-to moderate-temperature heat streams,
particularly in the smaller (1 MW or lower) size range.
Turboden, a PWPS company is an ORC manufacturer
based in Italy with over 30 years of experience. They
manufacture ORC product lines suitable for moderate
and higher temperature heat streams, particularly in
the larger (1 MW 7 MW, and up) size range.

Variety of working fluids available
ORC turbines are built upon 30 years of industry
experience and, in some applications, derived from
a standard centrifugal vapor compressor used in
todays water-cooled chillers
*Ref. Figure 1
3) Low-pressure, expanded vapor cycles through a
condenser where it is cooled and condensed into
liquid form.
4) The cooled liquid is then sent to the pump,
boosted in pressure and sent back to the
evaporator to repeat the cycle.
Standardized assembly processes allow for
seamless production to rapidly meet customer-
unique requirements.
Pratt & Whitney continuous improvement tools
are implemented throughout the supply chain.
Overall Value
Units are manufactured and tested in tightly
controlled factory environments.
Modular design, standardized components and
high volume lead to a higher value proposition
for the customer.
Benefits

Pratt & Whitney PureCycle Power System Overview

The PureCycle power system

solution is built with the proven
technology and components of
commercial centrifugal chillers,
ensuring product quality and
reliability. This system operates
with a non-flammable working
fluid refrigerant called R245fa.
The PureCycle power system
provides a low maintenance
cost-effective option, which
creates revenue, reduces
process cost and supports an
intelligent energy strategy.

The PureCycle power system is supplied as a complete, fully integrated and assembled unit.
