Introduction
Energy is fundamental to any human being, used to meeting our basic needs, such as
transportation, food and the own maintenance of life, therefore world energy demand is
expected to increase continuously. In order to minimize the negative impact on environment,
in the last few years, a large endeavor have been made to use more efficient energy
conversion processes and extend the market share of renewable energies [1-3]. As a result,
the interest for low grade heat recovery grew dramatically in the past decades [4].
Among the proposed solutions, the Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) system is the most widely
used due to its simplicity and the availability of components [4]. Basically, the working fluid
is an organic component, allowing fitting different temperature heat sources, and unlike
traditional power cycles, local and small scale power generation is achievable [5].
Consequently ORC applications are investigated massively, such as: waste heat recovery,
solar energy, combined heat and power, geothermal systems, energy recovery from exhaust
gases, bottoming cycle combined with gas turbines or other high temperature cycles [1-8].
For some areas and specially for solar thermal electric generation would be able to overcome
disadvantages from conventional steam Rankine cycle, hence the water steam temperature
drops below 370 C the thermal efficiency becomes uneconomically low [9].

Nevertheless, the choice of the working fluid is of crucial importance and has been the object
of an abundant literature [10]. Still, this work is focused on outcome an optimized working
fluid for low temperature based on fuzzy logic for a fixed output with a technical and
economical inference features.
The first part of this paper describes the Solar ORC system which the simulation model is
based on. In the second part, all of the sub-models of the different components and the global
model, which is built by interconnecting then, are present. In the third part, the analyses
method is present, introducing all fluid data, and fuzzy inferences. The last part of the paper
present the results of the simulation, evaluating the performance of a Solar ORC for different
fluids and investigates the performance of the system though a fuzzy logic to points out the
best fluid for its temperature range.

System description
This paper presents the early start implementation of a solar laboratory, LABS, at the Federal
University of Itajub (UNIFEI). The purpose is to develop a solar ORC system, with
parabolic through collector (PTC) technology, using a water-based mixture as heat transfer
fluid (HTF), for distributed energy generation (Fig. 1). Therefore the systems components
considered in this paper are based on commercial and available equipments.
The ORC module operates with the chosen working fluid, which is heated on the evaporator
by HTF from the solar collector field. The working fluid drives a turbine for power
generation, condensed into liquid in a water-cooled condenser and then pumped back to the
evaporator. The system considered a dry-expansion fluid (positive slope of the saturated
vapor curve in the TS diagram), sub-critical using a minimal value of superheating (equal to
1). Adopts a hypothetical turbine able to generate 5 kWe (net), limited at maximum
temperature of 160 C and maximum pressure of 30 bar.
Model
This section describes the models of the different components of the ORC system under
investigation. Based on a steady-state model of the system presented in Fig. 1 is developed,
for the rating and sizing of the different components and to optimize the working conditions
for a fixed output power. All models proposed, consists as an semi-empirical model [4,8],
developed under MATLAB environment, using thermodynamic data from FluidProp
integrated within the model, which works with NIST references tables [11]. Therefore, was
assumed a constant irradiation level and environment conditions. Therefore, kinetic and
potential energy are neglected. Still, were considered pressure drop only on the equipments,
neglecting on piping.
Pump
The pump has a non-isentropic compression process with efficiency (p) of 75% for each of
the three pumps of the system. However, its power consumption (wp) depends on the fluid

properties and parameters, given by the flow rate (Fm,) and the enthalpy variation during the
process (h) respectively. The pump consumption is given by:

Similarly, the turbine has an expansion process is non-isentropic with efficiency (t) of 85%;
therefore to obtain 5 kWe as net power in power generation (wt) is necessary to consider the

Solar Collector
To dimension the solar collector field, length (lsc), area (Asc) and efficiency (sc) are the basic
parameter, which adopts commercial data. The solar collector is based on a compact
parabolic through collector (PTC) model, which have efficiency on the range of 50-65% for
HTF temperatures between 50 up to 170 C. This efficiency (sc) can be based on the HTF
mean temperature (Tm) and irradiation level (I) which is given by the equation [18]:
= B. (A. )2 + C. (A. ) + 0,002. + 59,8
= 2. 104 + 1. 104 . 1. 107 . 2
B = 2,0458 + 2,8. 103 . 1. 106 . 2
C = (2,5164 + 5,7. 103 . 3. 106 . 2 )
(4)
After obtaining the value of the solar collector efficiency (sc), is calculated the number of
solar collectors (nsc) required to operate the system. The calculation is based on the enthalpy
variation (h) from inlet and outlet, flow rate (Fm,sc), irradiation level (I), Area (Asc) and
efficiency of the solar collector.

To be able to sizing the solar field pump capacity is necessary to estimate the pressure drop
inside the collectors. The equation is based on Darcy-Weisbach method and the turbulent
friction factor on Swamee-Jain [12]. For this calculation only the length of the solar field was
considered.

Each heat exchanger adopts a gasketed-plate with counter-flow, as base model. For each
zone, appropriate one-dimensional governing equations is used, therefore each zone is
characterized by a heat transfer area (A) and a heat transfer coefficient (U), which is based on
Kaka and Gut analyses, furthermore in the present work, was included a pressure drop
model to fit all working fluids operations design characteristics [13,14].
The heat transfer coefficient U is calculated by considering convective heat transfer; HTF and
working fluid sides and conductive with resistances in series.

Heat exchangers
In ORC systems, the working fluid enters the evaporator in liquid state and exits as
superheated vapor. Conversely, the condenser is characterized by entering superheated vapor
and leaving in liquid state. Only the working fluid suffers a phase change during this process
As a consequence, both the evaporator and condenser can be described as composed by three
characteristic transformation zones, which is represented by the Figure 2 [4,8]:

2. Liquid - Saturated mixture (Two-phase zone);
3. Liquid Vapor (Vapor zone).

The exponent are set according to Saunderss recommendations for corrugated plate heat
exchangers with a 30 Chevron angle and also, for this simulation is considered the influence
of temperature-dependent viscosity [14]. However, during the evaporation process is
considered the overall boiling heat transfer coefficient [8]. This heat exchange coefficient is

Global
The global model of the cycle is built by interconnecting the models of the different subcomponents. The global model calculation routine starts performing the turbine function,
which calculates the mass flow of the ORC system and the turbine outlet temperature, the
next step is the calculation of heat flux demand for condenser sizing. After that, is estimated
the pump system consumption. Then, to size the evaporator the thermal demand of the ORC
module is match with the supplied heat by the solar collector field. This routine continues till
it converges to stable values, assuring the fowling constraints adopted:

To be able to create enough analysis data a based model routine was created. Basically its
manage all input data of the model, which first select the working fluid and according to the
fluid characteristics, a minimum turbine inlet temperature is select, and then an nominal
design irradiation of 300 W/m. As a result an ORC machine is sized to the given irradiation,
nominal temperature and working fluid, respecting the system constraints.
The next step is to increase by 10 C the inlet temperature of the turbine, and then run the
routine until reaches its maximum allowed temperature of the selected fluid. When this step
is accomplished, the nominal irradiation is increased by 100 W/m, and recalculated for all
the temperature range of the selected fluid, repeating the process until reaches 900 W/m. As
the next step, another fluid is selected, and the routine is repeated for every pre-selected fluid.
After all the analyses are completed, an ORC performance evaluation is done by Fuzzy logic.
Fluid pre-selection
Many parameters have to be considered for fluid selection and ORC thermal efficiency
calculation [3,8,15], however there three main parameters considered in this paper are:
maximum and minimum process temperature and the fluid saturation curve type. The upper
limit of the maximum process temperature is the fluid stability and material compatibility.
Therefore the maximum temperature analyzed in this paper is 160 C, aware that some fluids
might be able to operate in lower temperature range, according to its saturation curve. The
239
240
241
242
243
minimum temperature was set to 30 C. Fluids with positive saturation curve were selected.
Among the existing fluids, were select 13 fluids which are represented in Table 2 showing the
range of temperature and operating pressure for each fluid.

Fuzzy logic
The classical logic relies on something being either True or False, which is usually
assigned a value of 1 and 0, respectively. Fuzzy logic is a multivalued logic that allows a
more practical way to deal with uncertainties. Thus, for instance, an element can have an
assigned value between 0 and 1, which describes an approximate data to find precise
solutions for a given set [16,17]. Fuzzy logic can be divided into 3 main steps:
1. Fuzzifying Transformation of data into fuzzy values, which are limited between
"0" and "1". For this is assigned value "1" for best inference set considering all
fluids for a given fixed operational temperature and irradiation. Once the best value
is selected among then, the others fluids are normalized in function of the best
value adopted.

Nevertheless, for this simulation, there will be always installed two units for heat exchanger
(condenser and evaporator), and also only one base for the solar collector. Still the use of
estimated cost allows standardizing in a common parameter the solar ORC plant cost, thus
simplifying their comparison between the machines using different fluid, temperature and
irradiation level; whereas will allow the more cost-effective equipement.

The analysis of the 5 kWe ORC solar plant projects are exposed in two steps: the first one
presents the effect of irradiation level on the sizing for a specific fluid, R-245fa; as second, a
comparison is shown, based on a specific irradiation level, for different fluids. The model
allows visualization of the physical characteristics of the system, which are the most
important at the first step: number of solar collectors (Figure 3), mass flow (Figure 4),
evaporator (Figure 5) and condenser area (Figure 6).

Figure 6. Relationship between the condenser area [m], the project irradiation [W/m] and inlet turbine
temperature [C]
In Figures 4, 5 and 6, with temperature increases the system became more efficient, requiring
a smaller flow rate, - 69.2%; and a smaller area of heat exchanger, - 67.7% to generate the
same amount of power, due to the increase of enthalpy. Therefore, the level of solar radiation
does not affect meaningfully the constructive parameters of the ORC module; which is less
than 7.1%. On the other hand, the amount of solar collectors (Figure 3) could deviate till
70%, which in the end will result in a higher specific power generation cost.
The overall efficiency of the system depends on the operational temperature and nominal
irradiation. As presented, solar collector efficiency decreases with increasing of work fluid
temperature and ORC cycle efficiency increases, bring to an optimum point [8]. In Figure 7 is
plotted the solar collector, the ORC module and the complete solar ORC system efficiency,
for an irradiation project of 600 W/m according to the operational temperature of each
machine.

The global efficiency of the Solar ORC system increases in an average grow rate of 26% till
the temperature of 100 C, however, on the range of 100 130 C, each 10 C represents
only a 7,6% of efficiency increasing. Figure 8 shows the profile of the total cost of the ORC
solar plant; hence the solar collectors and the heat exchanger have the greatest influence on
cost. The behavior implies a high cost at low temperatures due to the heat exchangers
requirement to compensate low exergy availability, with the working fluid temperature
increases; this influence decreases, reaching a 36.2% of disparity. The number of solar
collectors is influenced directly by the project radiation level, the lower the irradiation, higher
is the number of solar collectors, and the inverse is reciprocal.

The trend in Figure 9 is repeated for other levels of radiation. Can be inferred the most
efficient fluid for a given operating temperature range, being that these fluids are approaching
a trend line. The fluids that guarantee greater efficiency to the system are in order, according
to their respective operating temperatures: R-600a, R-600, R-245fa, R-245ca, R-601 and R601a. Also examined efficiency is the Carnot equivalent efficiency; actually the points
represent how close the real efficiency is from the ideal Carnot efficiency is. Exposed in
Figure 10, also presents the same fluid trend of behavior that is shown in curve of Figure 19,
however, features a maximum ceiling, being less than 30%.

In Figure 11 is shown the variation of net solar collector field area which tends to a minimal
area of 100 m; in Figure 12 is presented the total cost of the plant. In both Figures, 11 and
12, the elevation of temperature of working fluid implies in lower demand of solar collector,
which also results in lower investments costs.

Applying fuzzy logic (equations 15 up to 19), using the results exposed in figures 9, 10, 11
and 12 is possible to evaluate which are the fluids with the best cost-effective performance
for the operational temperature range of the system. Figure 13 represents the end of the
second stage of the logic (before defuzzyfication) whose "1" represented in dark green
indicates convergence of the best criteria for such project, while the closer to zero, the
gradient modifies to yellow and then white, representing the least equipment indicated, in
addition there are two methodologies of interpretation:
1. Select the operating temperature of the system, then it is evaluating the highest value,
in the same row, select the working fluid for best performance;
2. From a working fluid find out which working temperature the fluid receives the best
score, thus allowing selecting the best operating conditions.
This means, the most indicated working fluid for the temperature range of 60-70 C is the R600a; for 80 C is the R-600; for 90-120 C is the R-245fa; for 130 C R-245ca; and for 140160 C is the R-601. Consequently whereas 1, means that the sized machine has the best
values inferred among the others sized machines with different fluid for same temperature
range. A value of 0.96 means that the system has 96% of agreement, and so on. This
means for example, for a 120 C, the ranking of the most indicated fluids are R-245fa, R601,
R-245ca, etc. however none of them matchs 100%.
Therefore among the select working fluids, there are three fluids which are more costeffective: R-600a, R-245fa, R-601 covering all temperature range. However only the R-245fa
has the highest scores and does so covers 64% of the temperature range.
Conclusion
In this work focused on the evaluation of working fluid for low temperature based on fuzzy
logic. Therefore a semi-empirical model was adopted; capable of sizing a 5 kWe solar ORC
system, using a parabolic cylinder technology, based on commercial and available
equipments for any dry-expansion working fluids. Each machine is sized to fit optimality for
each of 13 different working fluids; whereas are compared and analyzed under the same
given condition.
The fact that the system depend on a nominal irradiation affects extremely the number of
solar collectors. The ORC module performance depends on the organic fluid, operational
temperature and power usage, not suffering changes as a function of nominal irradiation,
concluding that the systems when installed in areas of higher incidence have a lower specific
installation cost which leads to a more competitive production energy cost.

Due to the use of organic fluids the system is linked to its thermal performance, therefore
such behavior implies, that these results are also valid for different heat sources for the same
temperature range. Also suggests temperature boundaries to obtain the best performance and
optimization among the pre-selected fluids.
The comparison between working fluids showed that the most cost-effective for low
temperature operation is R-245fa. However, to be able to cover integrally the temperature
range (60-160 C) with higher efficiency, is more suitable to use three different working
fluids R-600a, R-245fa and R-601.
