Active cooling of the cogeneration unit engine circuit

Technology ORCAN cooler

The ORCAN technologies focus on a wide range of the ORC systems, from the smallest ones (5 kW) up to bigger ORC systems producing 300 kW of electricity. Another flagship of this company includes zero energy consumption coolers - ORCAN cooler

Tens of installations of these units all over Europe are evidence of first-rate quality of German technology. The supplier of expanders for ORC is the company Bitzer – the world number one in the field of producers of compressors.

ORCAN cooler – the cooler of the new generation with zero electric energy consumption:

The built-in ORC module (Organic-Rankin-Cycle) converts waste heat into electricity that is used for the cooling system operation. In the engine of the output of 500 kW it can save up to 8 kW/h.

ORCAN cooler solves the following problems with the cooling of cogeneration units:

The fact that the current cooling is undersized forces to limit the output in the summer months = loss of sales
Older coolers lose their cooling effectiveness and are often liable to failure = increased operating costs
Due to the engine overheating, oil is often exchanged = increased service costs

The cooler is delivered in the horizontal version in the three basic series – 400 kWth, 600 kWth and 800 kWth. When the so-called double cooler is selected, both engine circuits (LT and HT) are cooled down simultaneously.

Suitable for input temperature in the cooler from 60˚C
Waste heat with output more than 125 kWth
At ambient temperatures up to 30˚ C with the minimal/zero electricity consumption
It is not a source of the production of electric energy
Fast return on investment

ORCAN cooler has the best output-price ratio in comparison with the standard coolers:

Technology ElectraTherm Active Cooler

Active Cooler AC800

It is a technology for efficient cooling of waste heat not only with zero electricity consumption, but also with further electricity production. This is done using the ORC system integrated in the heatsink. The ORC unit produces electricity from waste heat. It is used for its own cooling consumption of the Active Cooler.

Electricity forms in addition to own consumption so it can be further processed into the distribution system. Active Cooler is not only a full-fledged cooler of excess energy, but also another new source of electricity.
